Traveling is fraught with risks. And many of those risks end up costing the traveler time and money. If you are a business traveler, or if your businesses regularly authorises the travel of your employees, then you may want to consider Travel Insurance.

When traveling, many disruptions may occur that can end up costing time and money, be it travel delays, lost luggage and materials, or an accident or illness. With Travel Insurance, you can rest assured that any problem will not result in a loss of money.

There are two types of insurance covers depending on your needs: Business and/or Corporate Travel Insurance

Corporate
Corporate Travel Insurance is geared for businesses that have one or more employees who travel regularly for the business, whether at home or abroad. This policy will cover your employees for the duration of their trip. The premium is based upon an estimated number of trips and the average duration of the trip per calendar year.

Benefits include:

• Covered travel for interstate, intrastate and international trips
• An agreed upon maximum duration
• Coverage for pre and/or post leisure travel when done in tandem with business travel

Business
Business Travel Insurance is for the individual business traveler that does not have any trip coverage through their employer. It is always advised to have coverage for your journey. If your employer won’t provide such coverage, then you can easily take on a policy to cover you from any monetary loss. The premium is based upon your estimated number of trips, whether on an annual or daily rate basis.

Benefits include:

• Covered travel for interstate, intrastate and international trips
• An agreed upon maximum number of trips
• Coverage for pre and/or post leisure travel when done in tandem with business travel

Don’t leave your business trips up to chance. Make sure you take on a policy that covers you and/or your employees. Each policy may also include the following:

• Personal Injury and Liability
• Emergency Medical Expenses
• 24 hour Emergency Assistance
• Protection for Luggage, Personal Effects, Travel Documents and Money
• Natural Disaster Evacuation Expenses
• Missed or Canceled Transportation
• Rental Vehicle Excess Cover

If your company routinely sends employees on trips abroad, or if traveling is a regular part of your job, then Travel Insurance is a cover you will want to consider.
