I have to laugh…when we moved to New England, my son asked me what a “pocketbook” is. We’ve always called those stylish catch all bags “purses”.
Either way, it’s where we (sometimes) carry our credit cards, cash, and maybe even check books for us old fashioned types .
I’m starting to work on big “bucket list” type trips for clients and am learning the ins and outs of travel insurance. This past weekend I took a “deep dive” into the topic and came away with a “Certification of Achievement” to sell travel insurance for Allianz.
When should you pay the extra for travel insurance? When you have booked a trip that costs more money than you would want to lose if you were unable to travel, or if your trip got interrupted by illness or injury of yourself, a travel companion or a family member who is not traveling. It ensures that you will get refunded the unused portion of your trip (or the whole trip if you have to cancel for an approved cause). Plans vary in coverage, and Allianz offers a variety of options. They also currently cover children for free when traveling with a parent or grandparent.
Feel free to message me at amy.barraclough@fora.travel if you would like to talk insurance. You can buy a plan at any time before departure, even if I did not book the travel myself. I can send you a quote and you decide whether you want to protect your bank account in the even disaster strikes you or someone you love.
