Richard is an active 72 years old. Since his dignosis of high blood pressure and cholesterol, he still finds ways to balance his health all while enjoying the foods he loves.
Richard and his wife Elizabeth were already aware of the importance of travel insurance, but when Richard was caught off guard by his first ever stroke while between sailing outings, it just confirmed what they already knew - they could not afford to leave home without it.

According to RSA Travel Insurance, medical expenses in sun destinations could be thousands of dollars. Below is an example. 




She's a 22-year-old university student. She made her way to sun destinations during March Break. As a budget traveller, purchasing travel insurance was not her priority. Unfortunately, a wet pool-side deck caused a twisted knee and severely sprained wrist.

Here's the average cost for hospital two nights stay, meedications, physician, ambulance, incidentals(meals), and repatriation(seat grade up to provide extra leg room).

- Punta Cana(Dominican Republic)  $6,935
- Acapulco(Mexico)           $7,780
- Cancun(Mexico)             $8,225 
- Florida(United States)   $35,020
Total Cost: $6,935 (Punta Cana)- $35,020(Florida)

If she purchased travel insurance at $25, the cost would be down to $0.




If you're thinking of hitting the beach, consider buying travel insurance. When purchasing, check your policy wording especially exclusion clause.
