Squaremouth's Top Travel Insurance Trends:
— Medical concerns are rising, as 4 of the 5 most sought after travel insurance benefits are health-related.
The U.S. Department of State strongly advises all travelers to have travel health insurance, as not all healthcare plans are accepted abroad. Without it, you could face steep out-of-pocket costs and difficulty accessing care. Emergency Medical insurance can provide peace of mind knowing your expenses are covered if something happens on your trip.
— Hurricane and Weather insurance coverage searches are up 39% year-over-year.
Tropical Storm Erinwas just named and is expected to become the first Atlantic hurricane of the season. With hurricane travel insurance, timing is critical; coverage must be purchased before a storm is named to be eligible for hurricane-related benefits. Buying Hurricane and Weather travel insurance early means you can be reimbursed for prepaid, non-refundable costs if unexpected severe weather disrupts your plans.
— Travelers are seeking excursions and activities during their trips, as adventure travel climbs 10%.
It's important for travelers to know that adventure activities, such as snorkeling, skiing, and wildlife safaris, are often excluded by most travel insurance plans. However, there are specific plans available to safeguard youradventure travel plans.
