Staying in Corporate Housing Shreveport? Five Travel Insurance Options to Protect Your Trip

When you travel, you never know what may happen. After all, what if you go to a new destination and a major natural disaster occurs? Or, what if some man-made event threatens your personal safety and security? That’s why it may be helpful to invest in travel insurance. In this post, we’ll discuss several companies that offer insurance for travelers. We’ll also talk about our corporate housing Shreveport and explain why you’ll feel safe when you choose us for your short term rental needs.

What is Travel Insurance?

First of all, you should ask yourself, “Do I need travel insurance?” If your business trip is fairly inexpensive or expenses are mostly covered by the company you’re going to do work travel for, you may not need specific “travel insurance”. However, it’s important to check with your manager or HR team to see what their insurance coverage specifically applies to and if it covers your personal health (medical bills) or loss of personal baggage in transit etc.

Typically, travel insurance is designed to cover high-cost expenses such as airfare, unforeseen natural disasters or medical emergencies. Of course, plans can usually be customized to fit your needs and how much you want to spend on insurance. Pay attention to phrases like “cancel for any reason”, “interruption for any reason”, “emergency evacuation” and “baggage insurance”.¹ It’s also helpful to purchase insurance as soon as you know for sure that you’ll be going on a trip…this helps to cover time before the trip in case a personal or other type of event occurs that makes cancellation necessary.

If you decide that insurance is worth the expense, check out these businesses below for more details or to put together your custom plan. You can also use a tool like InsureMyTrip.com, which will help you to compile quotes from multiple companies.

• Travelers offers an annual plan that may be a good option for frequent business travelers.
• Allianz Travel allows potential customers to choose from various pre-packaged plans based on their needs. The plans are explained clearly and offer options for executives (including business equipment rental), rental car insurance and adults traveling with minors.
• Faye is a great option that offers an easy-to-use app where you can manage your claims and interact with a 24/7 support team. Need telemedicine assistance for medical advice overseas or while you’re out-of-town? Faye has you covered. You can also get pet insurance if you travel with your dog or cat.
• WorldTrips has been featured in leading publications such as Forbes, CNBC and others. WorldTrips offers the standard travel insurance policies and can assist with medical and trip protection coverage.
• Travel Guard offers a “Pack N’ Go Travel Insurance Plan” that is designed for unexpected travel. This option could be just the plan that executives in your company need, especially if short-notice trips happen fairly often.
