The joy of travel is one of life’s great pleasures. Whether you’re ticking off far-flung destinations on a bucket list or staying local, travel insurance is an absolute necessity.

As any savvy traveller knows, despite meticulous planning, unforeseen mishaps can and often do derail the best-laid travel plans. From lost luggage to flight cancellations or medical emergencies, any number of unpredictable events can throw you off course. This is where good travel insurance reveals itself as a vital safeguard, providing financial protection and peace of mind. In this blog, we’ll explore the reasons why smart travellers should prioritise travel insurance coverage. We’ll provide an overview of the key benefits and various options available, enabling you to make informed decisions and enjoy stress-free travel wherever life takes you!

Comprehensive Coverage

At Cherry Godfrey, we understand that every traveller has unique needs. As with all the financial and insurance services we provide, we like to take our time to get to know you and tailor your coverage to your requirements. That's why we work with a range of providers, so that we can be as adaptive as possible to your specific preferences. Whether you're interested in multi-trip insurance or coverage for one specific journey, we work with you to find the perfect policy. The same applies to whether you’re travelling solo or with family, for recreation or business; working from home has become such a mainstay of modern working life that we can be taken off guard by the occasional need to travel for business: it is not just the pleasure-seeking traveller that needs coverage! No matter the size of your travelling party, the duration or purpose of the trip, important elements that you should consider adding to your coverage include medical expenses, trip cancellation and baggage loss.

The Ability to be Flexible

As we all know, travel plans can – and often do - change unexpectedly, with little warning.  That's why we make sure to offer flexible options that allow policyholders to modify or extend coverage or policy duration to work around any unforeseen changes to the itinerary.

Having the right travel insurance removes a lot of stress around the “unknowns” of travelling; after all, it can be the most minor of mishaps that cast a real shadow over your holiday. A missing bag, a missed connection or delays to travel – these are things that can turn a dream holiday into a nightmare. 

Whilst travel insurance can’t prevent hiccups, it can remove anxiety by offering coverage for: 

·         Lost, damaged or delayed baggage. 

·         Cancellations or missed departures. 

·         Delays. 

·         Additional expenses (for example, if you are forced to pay out for additional accommodation for extra nights or further travel due to a delayed departure).
