A Word about Travel Protection Insurance

Does this sound familiar?
• I don't need insurance!
• My boss already approved my vacation time
• I don't believe in insurance
• Nothing will happen to me.......Yada Yada, Yada

With so much uncertainty in the market place regarding airlines, tour operators and resorts, optional travel protection insurance is highly recommended. You would be bored to tears to listen to the horror stories we could tell you but just bear in mind: Travel Protection Insurance helps protect you when you don't expect it.

For citizens of the USA: Coverages can include flight interruptions, delays, cancellations, baggage loss, emergency medical & dental expense, trip termination due to death of an immediate family member, bankruptcy of resort, supplier, airline or vendor, travel accident medical coverage, loss of business plus several others With the cost of airline tickets continuing to rise, did you know you can buy a simple travel insurance policy to cover the loss or the use of tickets, too, based on the allowed coverages above?

And, you can be covered under certain conditions even if there is a pre-existing medical condition. Typically, premiums are based on age and cost of the vacation you wish to protect. Depending upon those factors, premiums can average between 3-7% of the total cost to be covered. This is an average and will vary.

Bonus BizPack Expanded Coverage: For only $19/person extra, you can add on the exclusive the BizPack feature for you business folks who need Trip Cancellation and Interruption coverage including the following condition:
1) Required to work
2) Business company merger/sale
3) Business unsuitable for work (fire, flood, natural disaster or burglary)

See lots of details at: FORMS Scroll down to the logo for Access America and Click on the banner to open up the Travel Insurance site. Or click on Access America directly to view sample coverages.

If want a stack of pre-printed Access America Travel Insurance forms to hand out to your friends or family, send us your name and address and a supply will be mailed to you. A price chart is included to easily compute your travel insurance premium.
