Holiday Insurance

(1/2) > >>

Sam:
Apologies if this isn't in the right catagory but I'm looking for holiday insurance and wondered who other people were using or would recommend.  I have some health issues so that is a consideration on the one I choose.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sam,
I haven't been able to find anyone that will insure my pre-existing conditions. So I take what I can get and hope I don't get sick . I go online and use TID (Travel Insurance Direct) it is under written by Allianz.
good luck! ☺

In the US, we call it travel insurance. Those outside the US call it holiday insurance. Different words for "vacation". Both AARP and AAA are for US citizens only. I'm an AARP member, but it doesn't offer travel insurance because the AARP Travel Center uses Expedia for a "travel agent" which can't offer travel insurance. I don't have a car so I'm not a AAA member, but it does offer travel insurance through Allianz. I'm definitely taking advantage of the AARP/Senior hotel discounts.

AIG is another travel insurance provider that covers some medical issues that US healthcare/insurance companies don't cover while traveling internationally.

The first time I was going to go on a big trip,  I didn't even think about getting travel insurance.  Naturally something came up and I had to postpone my trip.  I called the airlines and said I would get a partial credit when I rebooked.  My orginal flight cost me close to $600.  When I rebooked, I received a whopping $75.  Needless to say, I've gotten travel insurance ever since.  I usually go through AIG and haven't had any problems.
