Travel insurance gives parents peace of mind

Wed, 30 Apr 2008

Backpackers and students who want to study abroad should make sure that they are prepared with good travel insurance before they leave on their trip, says Earth Times.

With an increasing number of young people choosing to study abroad, travel insurance is necessary for both the travellers and their parents to guarantee peace of mind. Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com said: "Travel insurance is a 'must have' for students spending time abroad because it provides coverage where many traditional healthcare plans leave off."

Parents and students are also advised to check the details of the healthcare insurance they take out to ensure that they are covered for every outcome such as medical evacuation, so that they are not faced with expensive medical bills .

A number of British students were injured in a bus crash in Ecuador this year and medical treatment was required for those with injuries . This situation supports the need for travel insurance as hospital treatment abroad can be expensive.
