Why Buy Travel Insurance? |
| |
The answer is simple. International travel involves risk. You
may arrive at your destination only to find that your luggage with
valuable personal items has disappeared, a personal emergency may
necessitate your early return to your Home Country, or a medical
emergency may necessitate hospitalization or even air evacuation.
In most cases, your existing insurance will not provide adequate
protection to you for these and other risks involved with
international travel. Without appropriate travel insurance, you
can be exposed to significant financial liability. MultiNational
Underwriters, Inc. has designed The Atlas Professional to take the
risk out of international travel, so that you can have an
enjoyable and productive trip.

while they are in their Home Country(ies). The Overall Maximum
Limit is $1,000,000 per person.

When Does Annual Coverage Become Effective and When Does it
End? |
| |
The Effective Date is the later of: the date we receive your
Application and correct premium or the date you request on your
Application. The Certificate Period is 12 months. During the
Certificate Period, you are covered for all trips of 30 days
duration or less outside your Home Country. Coverage is effective
the moment you depart your Home Country and ends the moment you
return to your Home Country. If you purchase coverage for your
Spouse and/or Dependents (under age 19), they are covered during
the same time period as you as long as they accompany you on your
trip.
