A Guide for Insurance Brokers:

Why Travel Insurance is a Must-Have for Overseas Adventures

 

Traveling overseas is an exciting opportunity to explore new cultures, eat the best sushi of your life from a 7/11 or lay on a beach with a daiquiri and create unforgettable memories. However, it also comes with its own set of risks and uncertainties.

As your client’s trusted broker, you solve all their other insurance needs so why not travel insurance as well? It’s so important to equip clients with a safety net that provides them with peace of mind to ensure that they can truly enjoy their experiences.

 

Unpacking the Risk of Traveling Without Insurance

A dream holiday can quickly take a turn when unexpected events strike. Your client may face travel risks such as:

  • Medical Emergencies:
    Falling ill or getting into an accident in a country where medical bills are high is a reality that many travellers face. We’ve all seen or heard of someone running into strife overseas with bills in the hundreds and thousands of dollars, because they thought they didn’t need the insurance. Prepare your clients for the unexpected.
     
  • Trip Interruptions:
    Whether it be volcanic eruptions grounding flights, bad weather preventing take-off, or family emergencies cutting trips short, ensure your client is prepared for trip interruptions that may occur throughout their travels.
     
  • Lost or Stolen Valuables:
    Misplaced luggage or a stolen passports may transform a once in a lifetime trip into a logistical headache. Travel insurance may assist with eligible reimbursement costs while you are overseas, depending on your level of cover. 
  • Legal or Financial Liability:
    A small accident such as backing a hire car into a pole or accidentally knocking over a letterbox may result in hefty fines or penalties. Be sure your client has backup in the case of an emergency.
