Why expats must consider travel insurance
You’re living in a new country, which has opened up all kinds of new places to explore on your vacations. It’s all so exciting! But, let’s be honest, you’ve likely asked yourself more than once if you really need travel insurance for your vacations.
Maybe you think that the chances of needing travel insurance are slim, so you skip it. You’re careful, you don’t take unreasonable risks and you’ve had many, many trips before when you’ve not needed to claim insurance. It just adds an extra cost, which in these expensive times, could be used elsewhere, surely? We certainly hope you don’t need to ever file a claim, but we also know that’s not how life generally works.
Also, travel can be costly; the thought of adding another expense may encourage you to decline it, but insurance is not as expensive as you might think.
Perhaps your company already provides some level of insurance already and that’s great; however, additional insurance, like that provided by Insured Nomads, can help fill in the gaps in coverage your company insurance may be missing.
The cost of travel insurance
If you’re uncertain of the cost and the value of travel insurance, you can always get a quick quote. You’ll only need to answer four simple questions.
- Who do you need insurance for (individual/family)?
- How old are you?
- How long will you be traveling?
- What is the deductible amount ($0-$500) you prefer to pay?
For example, a 58-year-old individual traveling for 10 days with a $500 deductible may only pay $99.90 from Insured Nomads. If the same person selects $0 deductible, the cost increases to around $133. Would you say your health, safety, and property are worth that?
For that low cost, you can feel secure in the protection travel insurance provides.
