Travel Insurance | The Most Important Travel Purchase You Never Think Of
We’re talking about travel insurance and other forms of travel protection. I can’t tell you how many myths abound about this aspect of travel – from thoughts that claims don’t get paid anyway, to not fully understanding why it’s so important.
We insure our cars, our watches, our dog’s vet bills – and even though luxury travelers are spending MUCH more on their trips than on these items… they don’t all insure.
Over the past two years in my business I can’t tell you how valuable having travel insurance has been for our clients in the know.
