2025 started off with a bang. Travel planning in full swing once the holidays died down. My clients are leaning in to 2025 travel, and I am here for them.

I’m thankful to my clients for returning year after year for me to put into motion their travel dreams. In 2024, I booked travel to 12 countries, and have added 4 to that list in the past 6 weeks.
When planning these trips, it’s more important than ever to have travel insurance. Just last week, I had clients have their travel delayed on their way to a wedding weekend in the Caribbean. Flight delays can result in missed connections and spending a night in a connecting city, which incurs costs, AND you still have to pay for that hotel room you didn’t make it to at your destination. Or you might have to change your plans due to a family emergency or work commitments. Travel insurance provides trip cancellation and interruption coverage, reimbursing you for non-refundable costs like flights, hotel bookings, and pre-paid tours. This can save you from losing hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars due to situations beyond your control.
Thanks to travel insurance last summer, a client got reimbursed for purchasing an alternate flight to get her to her destination when her airline cancelled. Credit cards like the Chase United Quest Card do offer some insurance for travel that you pay for with this card, but for those big and special trips, I recommend getting a quote from Arch RoamRight which will cover a broader bunch of events. If an unforeseen event, like a natural disaster or personal emergency, forces you to cancel or delay your trip, travel insurance can help protect that investment. It ensures that you won’t lose money due to circumstances out of your control.

While travel insurance is often an afterthought for many travelers, it’s an essential part of your trip planning. It’s a relatively small investment that could end up saving you a significant amount of money and stress in the event of an emergency or unexpected situation. Whether it’s protecting your health, your belongings, or your travel investment, purchasing travel insurance can give you the peace of mind to fully enjoy your journey.
