4 Tips to help you save money on travel insurance

Are you dreaming about strolling through the streets of Florence or Paris? You aren't the only one. But don't forget to pack your travel insurance.

We all know the importance of travel insurance, but what if you could get the protection you need and save some money at the same time? Here are four money-saving tips on your travel insurance.

Get discounts on bundled products

You combine your auto and home insurance to save more. But what about your travel insurance? It's the same principle; if you already have one policy with a company, there's a good chance they'll give you a discount on the second. 

So, make sure to bundle your travel medical insurance with trip cancellation and interruption for extra savings. Did you know it's now easier to bundle them online?

Buy Multi-Trip Insurance

Do you go on two or more adventures in a year? If so, opt for CAA Multi-Trip Insurance1. The years' worth of coverage will save you time as you don't need to apply for travel insurance before each trip. Plus, you'll save! These policies are less expensive than buying travel insurance for each vacation you take.

Get your CAA Membership

Do you belong to an organization or professional association? Say so. You may be eligible for a discount. For example, your CAA Membership does more than provide you with roadside assistance. By being a member, you save 20%2 on travel Insurance policies!                                                                              

Know what you're already covered for (and what you aren't)

If you have travel insurance through group benefits, you may have some of the coverage you need. But it's always a good idea to double-check your policy for gaps (like trip cancellation and interruption insurance). 

The last thing you want is to be surprised that you aren't covered when an unexpected mishap occurs. CAA travel consultants can review your policy to find gaps in your coverage and get top-up coverage to protect you and your wallet.
