Travelers might ask, "Why do I even need travel insurance?". Well, the chances are, you probably won't. But when you do, you will be very glad you have it. The Traveling Professor has taken over a thousand travelers on his small group tours to Europe and South America. In the vast majority of cases, there are no delays, cancellations, lost luggage, lost passports, or medical emergencies. But we have had the occasion on our small group tours where people are delayed by weather, they get ill and need to cancel a trip, they lose a passport, luggage gets lost or delayed. Why not have travel insurance for these situations, and on top of it, why not get it for free? Today's blog post discusses the best deal a traveler can get in travel insurance.
The Traveling Professor just got back from doing 3 small group tours to Iceland and the Northern Lights. On one of our trips, flights going out of Reykjavik were cancelled. On another one of our tours, flights were delayed out of Boston for a day and flights were cancelled out of JFK New York. All of our travelers were well-prepared to handle the delays. In this blog post, I will give valuable tips on what to do in case of flight cancellations or extensive delays.
