How Much Money and Stress You Can Save with Travel Assurance
When a loved one passes away while traveling or just away from home, the emotional and financial burden can be overwhelming. Most people don’t realize how costly and complex it can be to arrange preparation and transport return if a death occurs while traveling or simply visiting away from home. Without industry knowledge, established contacts, or negotiating experience, it’s a complex, costly and stressful experience for your family. That’s where travel assurance plans can provide critical emotional and financial support.
With a one-time fee for as little as $349 you gain peace of mind knowing that if death occurs 75 miles or more from your home, transportation and costs of facilitating the preparation and return of the deceased’s remains back to their home city will be handled completely. These arrangements often exceed thousands of dollars and involve coordination across multiple agencies, countries and transportation networks.
Below are a few real-world examples of actual repatriation costs our company has facilitated and paid for on behalf of its members who passed away while away from home. The amounts listed reflect negotiated “trade rates” that are significantly lower than what the general public would typically pay without industry access or experience. The least expensive listed below were members simply visiting friends or family within 200 miles of their home.
