5 Tips for Travel Insurance

Traveling can be dangerous, but by being prepared, you can travel safely while carrying out your global purpose. Here are 5 tips to help:

1. Stay alert to advisories and local customs

By downloading apps that offer real-time travel alerts and event information, you can know the state and safety of your destination. The US Department of State, the American Red Cross, and more offer free apps.

2. Protect your online activity

Public WiFi and public computers can lead travelers and their information vulnerable to online identify theft, stolen credit cards, and cloning. Use encrypted VPN and two-factor authentication.

3. Prioritize location sharing

Share your itinerary and fellow travelers’ names with several trusted people. Download a location-sharing app to ensure that someone always knows your whereabouts (or the whereabouts of your employees).

4. Stick to authorized public transportation

Make sure you know what legitimate buses and taxis look like and if there are any common scams at your destination.

5. Limit cash to minimize risk

Cash makes you an easy target. Use credit or debit cards whenever possible.
