Trip Insurance

TBSSB does not provide trip insurance, nor do we promote or endorse any particular insurance company. We do encourage travelers to seriously consider trip insurance. The entire process is handled by you directly with either the Tour Operator or insurance company you select and is strictly voluntary. We offer information here as a convenience.

You can find a wealth of information on the Internet. Plus, there are some of the many websites where you can easily compare several policies. Do your own Internet search, or try one of these: www.insuremytrip.com, www.QuoteWright.com and www.SquareMouth.com. You may not need all features presented. Typically, the fewer features the lower the cost.

If you paid for your trip with a credit card, you should check with your card company about their travel insurance benefits. Some automatically insure travel purhcased up to a certain dollar amount, most likely they will cover trip cancellation or interruption, but not medical.

Some insurance companies require that you buy insurance soon after you sign up for the trip and make a payment. Some will allow you to sign up later but exclude pre-existing conditions. If you need trip medical insurance, it's best to purchase it sooner than later.

Please give this serious consideration.
