Buy Travel Medical Insurance – after
you figure out how much you already have.. Since most health-care plans
don’t cover emergency medical evacuation or even basic medical
coverage overseas, it’s a good idea to purchase a travel health
policy. Usually purchased on a per-trip basis, also available on annual
basis. Also, if you are
already covered for medical concerns, then consider coverage for
emergency evacuation. Ex. medjetassist will fly you to any hospital in
the world.
Check your insurance providers for
Rental-Car coverage policies.. Do you really need to purchase $40
per day in insurance every time you rent a car? Get to the bottom of
this by reviewing your policies at home.
Also check your health, auto, and homeowner’s
policies w/ regard to medical and belongings.. Are you covered in the US
only or abroad too? Call ahead to the rental agency in the countries you
are visiting to find out what the minimum ins. requirements are. Bring
proof of coverage with you.
Study your Frequent-Flier mileage programs
a – and your statements. [and how you use your credit cards]
