Travel Insurance

Eureka Travel strongly encourages you to consider and purchase travel and medical insurance as soon as you book your travel. There are many reasons for purchasing travel insurance. Accidents happen, flights get cancelled, natural disasters occur and your property may get lost or stolen. Make sure to check with your health insurance provider if they provide emergency medical and evacuation coverage when travelling overseas. If they do not, then definitely obtain supplemental coverage.

 

As with any insurance, be it auto, home or health, there are variety of choices and policies offered so be sure to review your coverage prior to purchase. 

Before you go… 

1.- Make a copy of your itinerary and leave it with your relatives or friends 

2.- Make sure you have the phone numbers of your friends, relatives, your travel consultant and the travel insurance contact 

3.- Have separate copies of your travel documents and store them separately from the originals. You may even consider scanning your documents and storing them on a web based email site such as Yahoo 

4.- You may also want to have handy the addresses and phone numbers for U.S embassies in each country you travel, in case of disasters 

5.- Become familiar with the dialing out of the country of your destination back to your home. 

6.- Consult the U.S Department of State for any advisory for the region you will be traveling to.
