Hi there, I am South African but live in the USA. I’m going to S. Africa 12/23/10 and returning on 1/12/11. I just need Baggage travel insurance because I have lots of presents and clothes for Christmas. I don’t want to spend too much money. Can you please quote me and tell me what will be paid if my bags are lost/stolen/damaged? Thank you, Tanya
Hi Tanya,
Thanks for visiting TripInsuranceStore.com and writing. Happy Holidays! I hope you have a safe trip home.
I’m happy to hear you don’t want bad weather coverage as it’s too late to get any plan to cover you once the bad weather is predicted.
Next, don’t even bother with travel insurance because it has limits for what it pays for your personal possessions. The limits are both per item and per category.
Instead, get Excess Valuation coverage directly fom your airline when you check in. It’s typically $1 per $100 of value and it will fully cover you.
