Are you ready for Spring Break? It's the perfect time to start planning your summer travels and many churches are taking advantage of this break to serve others on mission trips both near and far.
While you might have heard all sorts of tips on what to pack and wear (yes, comfortable shoes are a must!), there's one thing that often gets overlooked but is incredibly important: travel insurance. And not just for the obvious reasons of protecting your wallet against unexpected expenses or losses.
Picture this: you and your team are on a mission trip in a remote village in Mexico when one of your volunteers suddenly falls ill and needs emergency medical attention. Even if they have primary health insurance, it might not cover them outside of their home country. That's where emergency assistance services come in.
Not all insurance policies include these services, but they can be a lifesaver when you're in an unfamiliar place. Here are just a few examples of what they can offer:
Having the right travel insurance can offer you not only financial assistance with medical expenses but also expert advice on where to find the nearest treatment facility and even arranging emergency evacuations if necessary.
If you're looking for a great resource for insurance plans that can be purchased for groups or individuals, check out Faith Ventures. Their website also has some helpful resources on discounted group airfare and other trip-planning tips.
