Travel Insurance - What is it? Do I need Travel Insurance?
This week on Tahitian Moment Live, Carl is joined by special guest Cheri from Allianz Insurance to dive into one of the most overlooked- but essential- parts of travel planning: travel insurance.
We’ll explore why insurance is especially important for trips to remote destinations like French Polynesia, and break down common misconceptions like “I’m healthy” or “my credit card covers it.” Cheri shares real-world claim examples involving medical emergencies, airline strikes, lost luggage, and more- highlighting just how unexpected travel disruptions can be.
We’ll also explain what makes up a solid travel insurance policy, including coverage for cancellations, trip interruptions, out-of-country medical emergencies, baggage delays, and more. Learn about the peace of mind insurance brings- especially in situations where travelers may find themselves needing medical care in a French-speaking hospital far from home.
Whether you’re a frequent traveler or planning your dream trip to Tahiti, this episode is packed with practical tips and valuable insights to help you travel smarter and with confidence.
