The weather outside is frightful

The thought of white sand is delightful

There are plenty of places to go

Don’t put off, don’t up-hold, off you go!

You’re done with winter already, right? Yeah we all are. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel like I’ve embraced the Christmas spirit if there isn’t a healthy layer of snow on the ground. It’s really adds to the season’s charm, but quite frankly I’m ready to see green grass again by January 2nd.

So you’re travelling this winter to get away from the cold. No matter where you’re headed, make sure you’ve got your bases covered. You’ve got plenty of clothing; you’ve packed your toothbrush; and your phone charger is strapped to your carry-on bag.

Forgetting anything?

Make sure you’ve got a good travel insurance plan. It wouldn’t make for a good trip if you suddenly had a $30,000 hospital bill, right? Having a good travel plan can be the difference between making it home in good time or waiting in a foreign hospital for days or even weeks.

Your travel agent will most likely have a good plan that doesn’t cost much and it would be advisable to take that at the very least. However, if you’re keen on saving a few bucks it doesn’t hurt to shop around. It only takes a few minutes for an insurance advisor to quote a travel policy, so why not take a look.

Are you worried about having to cancel your trip or losing baggage? There’s an additional policy for that too. It’s a little more expensive, but if you have to transport anything expensive or think there is potential that you’ll have to postpone the trip, it’s worth the cost.

Also, If you’re going to travel multiple times throughout the year, it might pay to buy an annual plan. For just over $100, you might qualify for a plan that will cover you all year long, so it may pay to take advantage. Need one for the family? Just over $200 will secure you an annual plan no matter how large the family.

It never hurts to ask about a price on travel insurance, so call an advisor today!
