Our clients, City Lights Ministries were in Haiti on a mission trip when the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake struck. This team had the same TravelSafe Vacation Insurance plan you'll find below.
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel Insurance is financial protection for you when you're taking a trip. For example, if you're hit by a cement truck on your trip, travel insurance can pay your medical bills or pay what your regular insurance doesn't cover. And, Medicare doesn't cover you outside the USA.
Travel Insurance also covers you if you need emergency medical transportation.
Or, you might have a Travel Delay which forces you to have extra accommodation expenses
Or your luggage is delayed, lost, stolen or damaged
If your checked luggage doesn't arrive within 12 or 24 hours after you do, you can be reimbursed for items you need to buy.
Travel Insurance can also protect you if you're forced to cancel or interrupt your trip because you or a close family member unexpectedly gets hurt or sick
Travel Insurance can even cover you if you change your mind and want to cancel your trip. You can get a policy upgrade that lets you cancel your trip for any reason. This adds about 50% to the cost.
Any travel insurance plan can cover you on your mission trip, but some plans are better suited to mission trips than other plans. The 2 plans I recommend are:
CSA Group Guarantee - this requires a minimum of 10 travelers and everyone taking the trip has to take this planup. See the CSA Group details.
What if you get sick on your trip and require ongoing treatment at home?
- TravelSafe can cover your medical expenses from an illness or injury, that first manifested itself while on your trip, for up to 52 weeks after returning home. You have to seek the initial medical treatment while on your trip.
- CSA's Group plan can cover your medical expenses from an illness or injury, that first manifested itself while on your trip, for up to one year from the date of your Sickness or Injury during a Covered Trip. You have to seek the initial medical treatment while on your trip.
