Does Travel Insurance Cover Car Breakdown?

Hi Everyone!It sounds great that the world is normalizing again, and I am planning a trip with my family. I am thinking to visit Belfast, NI and a few camping sites in Scotland. Instead of public transport, I am thinking to use my own vehicle. Probably, my family can use 2 vehicles. In this regard, I am thinking to get a travel insurance plan for the entire family, but I am not sure either it would include a car breakdown or not. When I did an online search, then I found that I would have to…

Travel Guard North America hired Ruf Strategic Solutions to conduct a poll to find out. 43% of cruisers polled say their biggest concern surrounding cruising is the potential that weather-related flight cancellations or delays will cause them to miss their ship’s departure. Only 25% feared missing their cruise because of an illness or injury.

Are you as surprised by that last one as I am?

There's more: Despite highly publicized incidents occurring while ships were at sea or in port, only 20% of respondents were worried about getting sick once on the ship, just 10% of respondents were concerned about safety while in port, and less than 1% of respondents were concerned about potential mechanical issues on board.

The survey also addressed the growing trend of megaships, finding that less than 4% of those polled considered the size of a ship as its most attractive quality.

Again, do you find that as surprising as I do?

URGENT: Tripatini Needs Your Travel Insurance Stories Within the Next 24 Hours

Do you sell travel insurance to your customers? Are pre-existing conditions excluded? Is it difficult for someone with, say, cancer to buy travel insurance through your provider?

Or, as an individual, have you been turned down when buying travel insurance because of pre-existing medical conditions? Have you been quoted astronomical rates because of your condition? Or maybe you've bought travel insurance, only to have your broken ankle claim denied because of (totally unrelated) pre-existing cancer?

Tripatini editor-in-chief David Paul Appell needs to hear from you within 24 hours (no later than 12 noon US Eastern Time on Thursday, April 15, 2010) for a BBC World News story for which he is serving as a source. If your anecdote is selected, you may be quoted.

Anyone in any country may reply.

Useful tidbit: your travel insurance may not protect you abroad if you're traveling in a country that's on the State Department's Travel Warnings list... and that includes not just places like Syria and North Korea, but also Israel, the Philippines, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and more. The lesson: if you're traveling anywhere remotely dubious, check the fine print on your travel insurance policy. You may pay dearly otherwise. Read more about it here.
