How To Buy Travel Insurance

Hat tip to Karen Triggiani for this story:

“Why doesn’t my quote include any policies that cover pre-existing conditions?” is one of the most commonly asked questions to Squaremouth.com, America’s fastest growing comparison website for travel insurance. Often, it is because the traveler waited too long to get a policy.

Many travel insurance plans will cover pre-existing conditions only if the policy is purchased within a specific time, determined by the initial trip payment or the final trip payment.

“Even when a trip is booked well in advance with only a minimal deposit, that date still determines how long some benefits are available for purchase.” warned Squaremouth’s Chief Executive Chris Harvey. “This is an industry norm, even with coverage as important as pre-existing conditions.”
