Travel Insurance 24

Medication or prescription drug coverage is an important factor to consider when choosing a travel insurance policy. If you are a traveler that relies on regular medication, you know how important it is to plan ahead and make sure that you are able to receive your prescription, no matter where you are traveling to.

Those who need to use prescription drugs on a regular basis must make sure that they have adequate coverage for drugs. This is especially important if they are traveling for an extended period of time and need to refill their medication during their trip; remember not all medications are standard throughout the world.

Kelley Blue Book put together their list for the best “green” cars in 2008 and they are still some of the most fuel efficient vehicles today.  There has been an increasing interest in environmentally friendly cars because gas prices are high, the economy has been weak, and people are more environmentally conscious than ever before.  While “green” cars have unique challenges for insurers like Eastwood Insurance, it doesn’t mean that they will cost you more to insure.  They might actually cost you less.

While coming up with their top ten list, Kelley Blue Book looked at fuel efficiency, price of the car, performance, comfort, the utility, and its updated technology.  They compiled their list for new car buyers looking for the total package, not just the fuel economy.  There are “green” cars in just about all categories of vehicles now, even large SUVs.  Compare car insurance offers and you can find great deals for the purchase of a new environmentally friendly car as well as available government incentives.

The Toyota Prius with its 46 mpg is not only the best selling “green” car, it is the most fuel efficient and Kelley’s number one choice.  Honda’s Civic Hybrid is the second most fuel efficient at 42 mpg and is popular with many consumers because it looks like a more traditional sedan.  The third, fourth and fifth vehicles are the smart fortwo at 36 mpg, the Nissan Altima Hybid at 34 mpg, and the Mini Cooper at 32 mpg.  The Ford Escape Hybrid is the first SUV on the top ten list and boasts a respectable 32 mpg.  Honda’s Fit with 31 mpg, the Mercedes Benz E320 BlueTEC at 26 mpg, Toyota’s Highlander Hybrid at 26 mpg, and Chevrolet’s Tahoe Hybrid with 21 mpg round out the rest of the top ten.

One of the most troublesome aspects of traveling is the possibility of lost luggage. Travelers who never invested in the benefits of a travel insurance policy may want to reconsider their stance on the matter, because it may be worthwhile when their luggage gets lost. In 2009, it’s reported that more than 2 million bags were mishandled by airlines in the United States. While some luggage is eventually found and returned, others are never recovered. Losing luggage can be more than an inconvenience to travelers, some possessions are invaluable and the loss of personal effects can be devastating to the owner.

Assuming that the airline had lost your luggage, it’s normal that you should be cursing your luck. Aft
