You are going to spend hours making travel arrangements, working with the travel agent and researching your trip. Careful planning helps make sure you will have a good time.

Now comes the scary music…remember the Jaws music…can you hear it?

You have spent money on deposits for hotels or B&Bs. You have spent money for airline tickets, cruise line tickets, tour operator deposits. What are you going to do if you cannot go on your trip? Are you prepared to lose all this money? Try to get it back, if you’d like, but you might as well save your time.

So what types of things can go wrong?

* You, your spouse, or even your travel mate might get too sick to go on the trip.
* Perhaps one of your party gets sick while on your trip.
* There may be an earth quake, tsunami, or economic problems at your destination.
* What if there is a terrorist incident at the travel destination?
* If you have a medical problem while on your trip, who is going to interpret to the medical personnel for you?
Who is going to pay for the medical evacuation or repatriation if you have a medical problem?
* The tour company you sent your deposit to may go out of business.

Many things can go wrong and do go wrong on a daily basis. If you travel very often, you will probably have some stories to tell.

There is insurance that will cover your trip of up to 30 consecutive days. They have people on the insurance company’s staff that will be available 24-hours a day to answer questions, help you with travel emergencies, talk with medical personnel, and reimburse you for your deposits, and any covered non-refundable expenses. As you may have guessed, medical evacuation can be very expensive.

It is called Travel or Trip cancellation insurance. Believe me, it makes sense to protect yourself against any of these types of eventualities.

Surprisingly, it isn’t very expensive. For example, you might be able to protect $1,500 of your trip for about $100. Consider protecting yourself from a great disappointment with travel cancellation insurance.

To help protect your from losing money you’ve spent on travel plans, invest in a travel insurance program. These insurance programs provide benefits for those unforseen circumstances that may force the cancellation or interruption of your covered trip. Other insurance plans
