Why Travel Insurance Saves You and Clients Money - AIG Travel Guard

If you sell any type of travel, you should offer the benefits of a travel insurance program to your customers to avoid the problems of credit card charge backs with your customers when they have to unexpectedly cancel, interrupt, or be evacuated from their trip.

Over my 17+ years in tourism, this is one of the biggest areas of potential financial challenges for suppliers of travel because when a customer cancels for good reason after your cancellation period expires, and does not have travel insurance, they often wants their money back.  Customers can get pretty nasty, especially when there's lots of money involved, are not able to do their trip and want their money back.

Join Tim Warren as he interviews Bonnie Ratchka,  National Accounts Manager for  AIG Travel Guard on the top reasons why selling travel insurance helps you and your customers too.

Key Points Covered in Travel Business Success Radio, Episode # 37

  • Types of Travel Cancellation Coverage
  • Travel Interruption Insurance Coverage

  • Travel Emergency Insurance with Air Evacuation Coverage
  • Travel Cancellation Insurance for Business Reasons ( New)
  • Insurance for Travel Consumers to Protect Their Investment if the Supplier has a problem 
  • How You Can Make Money Offering Travel Insurance Products to your clients

Clients do stupid things on trips so if they have insurance,  they are more protected and so are you.
