Summary
Discover why purchasing travel insurance as early as possible is crucial for your peace of mind and financial security before heading on your journey.
---
Few experiences compare to the thrill of traveling abroad. The anticipation of new adventures makes the planning process enjoyable rather than tedious. Shopping for tickets, luggage, and clothes becomes an exciting part of the journey. However, there's one critical component often overlooked?"travel insurance. Although it may feel like an additional expense without immediate benefits, it's an essential safeguard.
Is Last-Minute Travel Insurance a Bad Idea?
Many people hesitate to buy travel insurance early because it adds to the trip's overall cost. Yet, delaying this purchase is a gamble. If an unexpected illness or injury occurs before departure, and you haven't secured insurance, you could find yourself without coverage and facing hefty expenses. It's wise to minimize risks and maximize benefits by purchasing insurance as soon as possible.
Protect Your Pre-Existing Condition Coverage
Early purchase of travel insurance can also protect coverage for pre-existing conditions. Insurance policies often offer waivers for pre-existing conditions if you buy within 7 to 21 days of booking your trip. Waiting too long might make you ineligible, especially if unknown health issues arise.
Don’t Wait to Finalize Everything
Even if your flight tickets aren't finalized, it's advisable to buy travel insurance. Estimating travel costs ensures you meet the requirements for pre-existing condition waivers. Once tickets are purchased, inform your insurance provider to stay compliant with policy requirements.
What If You’ve Already Left?
Procrastinators rejoice! If you’ve already embarked on your trip without insurance, you can still purchase coverage while abroad. Access the internet to find and secure insurance online. Remember, "better late than never."
Can You Get Insurance for Someone Else Who’s Already Traveling?
If a family member, friend, or employee has left without insurance, they don’t have to remain uninsured. You can purchase insurance on their behalf online. For minors, register as an adult first. Be aware that pre-existing conditions during the trip won't be covered if insurance is bought post-departure.
Timing is Critical
Timing truly is everything with travel and expatriate insurance. Financial security depends on buying insurance before you need it. Avoid the lessons of the "Great Procrastinator" and secure your travel insurance early on.
