Concerns over tainted alcohol in Mexico and the Dominican Republic have tourists on high alert

“Most travel insurance policies have an alcohol exclusion clause that may deny or limit medical claims to persons injured or ill while under the influence of alcohol. – Rajeev Shrivastava, VisitorsCoverage CEO

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 23, 2019

Silicon Valley-based VisitorsCoverage, an online travel insurance insurtech company, is amping up online education for customers searching for travel insurance who may have concerns about consuming tainted alcohol. The company is a global leader in the insurtech industry and pioneered an extensive digital knowledge center for travelers purchasing medical travel insurance.

“While consumption of alcohol is often an enjoyable aspect to a holiday, each traveler must use discretion and safety precautions when consuming alcohol while abroad,” says Rajeev Shrivastava, CEO and founder of VisitorsCoverage. “Most travel insurance policies have an alcohol exclusion clause that may deny or limit medical claims to persons injured or ill while under the influence of alcohol. Some clauses are based on the attending physician’s determination, others are based on the legal limit in the country the traveler was treated in, while others may have a flat out zero-tolerance policy.”

In the wake of recent reported deaths in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, travel warnings have arisen from the industry. No travel advisories have been issued from the U.S. State Department but other countries have issued warnings. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulates domestic alcohol only and does not assign risk levels that differentiate consuming spirits, wine or beer – leaving tourists to be wary of consuming all types of potentially counterfeit or tainted alcohol when traveling abroad.

VisitorsCoverage is sharing a statement regarding travel coverage in the Dominican Republic released by its partner provider, International Medical Group® (IMG®).

“In regard to the recent, sudden illnesses and deaths to travelers in the Dominican Republic, IMG members who purchased a travel protection plan may receive accident and sickness medical expense, emergency medical evacuation, medical repatriation, return of remains, or trip interruption benefits if they become ill while in the Dominican Republic … the U.S. government has not found any connection between these incidents and has not raised the travel advisory level of the Dominican Republic due to these events. For any travelers that may be fearful of their upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic and wish to cancel their trip, fear is not a covered peril under the trip cancellation benefit and thus would not be covered.”

Shrivastava concludes, “the most beneficial advice for travelers is to purchase Cancel for Any Reason travel insurance coverage which allows them to recoup most of their prepaid expenses if an incident occurs 48 hours prior to their departure and they want to cancel out of caution, fear or for any other reason.”

About VisitorsCoverage

VisitorsCoverage Inc. is an insurtech company located in the heart of Silicon Valley and is disrupting the global travel insurance industry by leveraging technology to redefine the way travelers purchase and manage travel insurance. We have helped millions of travelers acquire suitable travel insurance online by providing an insurance experience that is fast, affordable and hassle-free.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 14, 2019

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several important safety features that can help drivers pay cheaper car insurance premiums.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/the-most-important-safety-features-that-can-help-you-save-money-on-car-insurance/

Safety features that are installed in the vehicles can help drivers save money on insurance. Safety features can protect the driver and the passengers in the event of a collision and some features can even prevent accidents. From these reasons, insurance companies will pay medical bills for fewer accident injuries. To encourage drivers to purchase safer vehicles, insurance companies are offering discounts for the safety features installed in the vehicles. However, not all insurance companies are offering discounts for safety features.

The most important safety features are the following:

• 
  Airbags. Drivers can get a greater discount if they have a vehicle that has a side curtain and front airbags. Drivers are less likely to experience severe injuries if they have airbags in their cars. As a result, insurance companies will have to pay less out on PIP claims and medical payments claims.
• Anti-lock brake systems. In the states of New York, New Jersey, and Florida car insurance providers are obliged by the law to give discounts to policyholders who own vehicles with ABS systems. ABS systems can help drivers save money on collision coverage, medical payments, PIP insurance, and liability insurance.
• Electronic stability control. Some carriers are offering discounts to policyholders who own vehicles equipped with ESC. Electronic stability control will help drivers control their vehicles on icy or wet roads.
• Seat belts. Discounts for seatbelts are quite new in the insurance industry. Some insurers will offer a 15% discount off medical payment coverage and PIP insurance premiums just for having seatbelts installed in a vehicle.
• Daytime running lights. This safety feature is present on most modern vehicles and will help drivers have better visibility during the day. In most cases, drivers will get a 5% discount off their liability coverage, medical payment coverage, collision coverage, and PIP premiums.

•Crash resistant door. Drivers who own vehicles that have doors that feature the latest crash resistance technology, that has safer crumpling on impact, are eligible for a 5% discount.

• Anti-theft devices. While these systems don’t protect a driver while driving, they will protect a parked vehicle. Insurers will offer discounts that can be as large as 30% for drivers who have advanced anti-theft devices in their vehicles, like ignition kill switches.
• Lane departure systems. Modern vehicles are equipped with lane departure warning systems or advanced systems that can push a vehicle back to its lane. These systems can prevent drowsy driving and distracted driving. The discount can vary a lot depending on the insurance company and on what type of system is installed in the vehicle.
