There are dozens of of services you can offer your clients to make some extra money, but clearly, one of the greatest options for your clients is travel insurance.

According to a leading insurance company, 70% of all claims filed happen before your customers walk out their front door!  The cause; trip cancellation, mostly due to illness or injury of the traveler or family member. 

Listen to this though… some insurance companies even cover for loss of employment.  Now there’s a unique selling strategy for travel insurance.  Buy a trip, then buy insurance in case you lose your job.  Really, this is very timely given the economy. 

There has also been an increase in travel delay claims due to bad weather; snow in winter and thunder storms in summer which is yet another reason your customers should be buying insurance.

So, you’re likely already selling insurance (please say you are), but did you know now might be a good time to re-evaluate your relationship with your insurance company.  There are some pretty aggressive deals out there that will benefit both your clients and you.   So, while plenty of travel suppliers offer insurance, your best bet is likely to go direct to a reputable insurance company.  By doing this, you get the best product for your customers and you won’t leave any money on the table.
