Logic Insurance, Benefits of Family Holiday Insurance Policy -As important as it is to prioritise family safety (especially when travelling to a foreign country), many people still have a hard time deciding whether or not to get family holiday insurance.
This is most likely due to avoiding having to spend money on a policy you don't really understand and may never claim on rather than deliberately being careless. But once you understand exactly what the benefits are of getting cover and realise that accidents do happen - often with grave repercussions - you may take the issue far more seriously.
Benefits of Family Holiday Insurance Policy
To help you decide what to policy to purchase, the following are some common benefits explained.
Damage or Loss of Travel Documents or Personal Effects
Travel documents may include your passport, identity cards issued by the country you are visiting, and other proof of identification, such as a driver's license. Personal effects refer to personal belongings such as gadgets, toys, clothes, etc.
Getting insurance for any type of travel document or personal effects means that you will be reimbursed for a specific amount if any of the items get damaged or lost during your travel. This is an indispensable aspect of a family holiday insurance policy when travelling with small children, as you may lose focus while paying attention to other things.
Trip Cancellation and Flight Delay
Trip cancellation may happen for many different reasons, but policy providers normally qualify this in terms of cancellation due to death or injury of anyone named on the policy 30 days prior to departure date, and unexpected civil unrest in the destination country.
This means that should any of these happen before you even go on your family holiday, insurance will be able to reimburse you for the cost of your airfare and accommodation, provided that the event happens within the specified period of time.
Medical Expense Reimbursement
Medical expenses are one of the trickier policy benefits because some providers offer general coverage for specific days of hospital confinement, while others could provide a more comprehensive cover, depending on the reasons for injury.
Generally, though, this benefit means that you will be reimbursed for expenses you outlay overseas due to accident or illness you or anyone named on the policy suffer during the duration of the family holiday. Insurance companies may further specify the details of the nature of the accident they will cover, such as winter sports or outdoor activities, or the severity of injury they will include in the policy. For the most part you may be covered for minor injuries, but for the more serious ones, you may need to discuss it further with a consultant.
Overall, though, the specific items covered in a given policy are unquestionably important, and by getting the right policy, you will be able to enjoy your well-deserved holiday with peace of mind. (Patrick Chong)
