Long Stay Travel Insurance
Long stay travel insurance for extended vacations, business
trips or overseas missionary assignments is essential for
peace of mind and your health.
Policies an cover you anywhere from 5 days to 365 days. The
"standard" extended stay policy will cover you for 90 days.
Obviously there are exceptions.
This is important because flexibility can be a key factor .
Length of stay can vary, but you don't want a lapse in
coverage, especially for the medical portion f most travel
insurance policies.
With all types of insurance becoming very competitive, there
are opportunities to get affordable coverage. The basic
business principle of captalism applies here. The more
competition, the prices will go down. Keep this in mind when
looking for long stay travel insurance.
Ok, if you are new to the whole travel insurance thing you
might be asking a few questions here, like...
What exactly is covered by a travel insurance policy?
Where can I find the best deal?
Do I even need travel insurance?
Ok, I am going to answer to briefly answer these questions
real quick.
Starting with the last question. "Do I even need travel
insurance?" Yes, when you travel you should always have
coverage. You never know what will happen to you.
To answer the the second question, "Where can I find the
best deal?" Online, you compare several companies (I will
tell you where in a minute). Comparing and reading reviews
is the best way to learn about what policy you should
purchase.
Lastly, to answer the first question, "What exactly is
covered by a travel insurance policy?" You can buy policy
that will cover just flight and luggage or you can get a
policy that is more like a deluxe package covering things
like...
Medical Illness or accidents emergency
Pre-existing conditions
Death / dismemberment
Flight cancellation / delays
The above list is not a complete, but I hope you get the
point. The point is this, you should cover yourself by
getting long stay travel insurance.
