Orlando Travel Insurance
Vital protection for your family!
 Travel
insurance is one area that still shocks and surprises me as an adult and a
parent.
We hear stories where families, couples and individuals decided against taking
out any form of holiday insurance because:
-
"It is an expense we can do without"
-
"We do not require insurance"
-
"Nothing will happen to us"
-
Forgotten all together
Well let's be positive and answer the negatives!
-
Protects - deposits and final payments if your holiday cancels due to
unforeseen circumstances!
-
Protects - loss of holiday money (travellers checks etc)
-
Protects - loss of passports/visas/driving licenses
-
Protects - loss of baggage to and from your holiday destination i.e; Orlando
-
Protective - Medical cover for you and your loved ones!
-
Peace of Mind!
Not to preach too much on the subject, but as responsibly adults and parents,
its vital we all take out sufficient holiday insurance.
We speak from experience, with two separate incidents (2002 - Two cracked
ribs - costs $3500) (2005 - Broken arm & head wound - costs $5000)
see photo above both times due to slipping over.(No it was not the rum
cocktails!)
However, if we did not have any travel insurance, those costs would have come
out of our pockets, before been released from the hospital. Ouch! No
holiday money left!
Now you tell me...Is it an expense we can do without?
Where to purchase your holiday insurance!
There are many ways to go about purchasing your insurance.

Word of mouth
Costs can change dramatically, so take a good look around. You will be astonished
at the differences.
If you are booking your holiday or vacation through a travel agent, they will
provide holiday insurance at point of sale; you can secure some great deals i.e;
(Buy now! children go free etc).
However, you can secure excellent deals on the Internet and cut out
the middleman. Here's a few websites for you to have a glance at. See list
below
Always check the small print when you purchase your travel insurance, clear
any dark areas you are not to sure about. Always download terms
and conditions so you can browse through.
One annoying area we've come across, is a large amount of insurance companies
have age restrictions for travel i.e. Over 70's & 75's, so you might have to
look around for a while until you find what is suitable for your requirements.
Here's a useful site you might find to your advantage.
