How to Spot a Quality Travel Insurance Provider

Though the Travel Insurance industry isn’t as swamped by monopolies of scale and travellers have the right to choose a plan in accordance with their needs, anyone who hopes to get financial and medical protection through travel insurance would do well to differentiate a quality provider from one that must be avoided at all cost. Like the items we buy at groceries and supermarkets, we always choose the brand that provides us with the greatest comfort and convenience.

Choosing a Travel Insurance Provider is pretty much the same. You go for what makes you feel assured. Assurance may translate to the following: affordability, comprehensiveness and ease of claim. That is why, so as not to regret your purchase decision, make sure to cover all grounds. Scan different travel insurance providers online and compare their offerings including prices and coverage.

You can also visit travel insurance review sites to what people think about the listed providers. Some testimonials will give you further insight into various providers and help you arrive at the right decision. The personal experiences of those who bought travel insurance before you can serve as your guidepost. After completing your online research, make an effort to touch base with the companies you have shortlisted for more information about travel insurance products and services you are interested in. Most companies do not expound on the scope and limitations of their product offerings until you meet their representatives in person.

It is important to note that negative reviews may or may not hold water. When in doubt, touch base with the travel insurance company and talk to an authorized representative for clarifications.

So how do you know you’re dealing with the right travel insurance provider? Here are some tell-tale signs:

  • You are advised to read your travel insurance policy before making a purchase so that you, the client, and the provider are mutually benefited
  • The plans are flexible, affordable and free from hidden charges
  • You can opt to buy other types of insurance in addition to the plan you already bought (i.e. trip cancellation, lost baggage, etc.)
  • The provider offers travel medical insurance that covers controlled and stable pre-existing conditions regardless of age.
  • Snowbirds and seniors are given priority.

Now that you’re aware what separates a poor quality travel insurance provider from a quality one, exercise discernment prior to sealing the deal.
