Should you buy travel insurance for your vacations?

When you’re planning a vacation, you spend hours on all the details: the daily itinerary, the flights, what to pack. But there is one major element you might be missing: travel insurance. Should something unexpected happen when you’re away from home, having travel insurance can make the difference between an upsetting ordeal or a quick, effective solution.

Discover some of the benefits of having a travel insurance policy, like the comprehensive Travel VIP plan from VUMI®, and you’ll see how it can bring total peace of mind.

Medical coverage in any country

If you’re sick and far from home, it’s difficult to know where to get medical attention. And then you have to factor in the high costs and difficulties of accessing top quality care. For any medical problem or ailment abroad*, you can count on your travel insurance. The VUMI® Travel VIP plan, for example, offers you coverage:

Transportation of a family member to your location in case of illness

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to be alone and ill in a distant country, with no one to help you through a difficult situation. With travel insurance, you wouldn’t have to be alone.


Travel VIP covers the emergency travel of a family member to accompany an insured who is hospitalized while on their vacation. The insurance covers airfare and more so the insured can be reunited with a family member.

Coverage for the whole family

Travel insurance can cover more than medical problems. VUMI® Travel VIP insurance gives you the option to purchase additional coverage for problems that include a variety of situations, such as:

Travel delays and missed flight connections

Lost or stolen luggage

Legal problems abroad

A team that can provide you with support and assistance.

If you need to use your policy abroad, you won’t be alone. With VUMI® plans, you’ll have a multilingual team on hand to provide you with all the information you need to access your benefits, including logistical support, administrative procedures and payments to providers.

And when you need help, you won’t be dealing with a chatbot. You’ll be connected to people who can guide you in the most efficient way.

Coverage for the whole family

When traveling, protection for the entire family is a must.

Keep in mind that some insurance has limitations for providing coverage for older adults. But this is not the case with Travel VIP. The age limit to apply for this plan is up to 79 years old.

As for the youngest members of the family, children from 14 days old up to 2 years old will be included as dependents of their parents at no additional cost as long as they travel together.

So, is it worth buying travel insurance for your vacation? If your answer is yes, consult your insurance agent right now to learn more about VUMI’s Travel VIP travel insurance.

If you’re already abroad, you can still purchase this insurance under certain conditions that can be explained by your agent.

* The plan has worldwide coverage, excluding the insured’s country of residence and any other country subject to sanctions and embargoes by the U.S. government, the United Kingdom, the European Union, its government agencies and/or instrumentalities.
