justRich Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Help. I'm traveling solo now since the loss of my better half. She was an excellent second seat pilot and I could always count on her. But now I'm thinking that any emergency situation where I might be incapacitated while traveling could get very expensive, very fast. I don't full time but I can be on the road for months at a time. Any suggestions about what kind of appropriate travel insurance would be appreciated. Quote ~Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einmann Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 You need to give more information. Do you qualify for Medicare? Do you ever (or plan to ever) go outside the USA - assuming that's where your home is? What kind ofhealth insurance coverage do you have now? You can PM me if you don't want to post that information.

ms60ocb Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Sorry to see you lost your wife recently, I loss my wife just after 44 years. We had planned a 40 day driving trip to start a month after her death. I couldn't do that that trip but other 7 - 10 trips. I was on Medicare with a supplement. But I wasn't even concerned about those type things. 6 months later I was getting my act together and got Sky-Med for the big medical events to get you back home. Goods Sam's had a similar plan on a much lower key. Take care of yourself, eat good meals and you may be cruising the road for many years. My doctor didn't like the fact that I considered a bag of Chocolate covered almonds a meal.

justRich Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 A fellow camper friend sent me a link to the Good Sam "Travel Assist" - they've got a Cyber Monday 1/2 off deal. Cheap. I purchased two years. https://travelassist.goodsam.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=[adv:+TA]+[plt:+Google]+[fun:+Performance]+[ini:+Branded]+[str:+PROSP]+[tgt:+Brand]+[bil:+Direct]&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-JacBhC0ARIsAIxybyOZ78S2IPFj_BDH2BHB9XAIGiJHMjGt1ijiFZ-GT9qFMhMZ0JJGyjcaAvsCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I didn't pay for the "family" plan which would have covered my unfortunate cat. Yes, I have Medicare and a good supplemental. I do enjoy boondocking - some remote places at times - and a broken leg or something could be a real problem. I don't have any current plans for international travel but in the past have used Generali - never had a medical claim but did have a event cancellation costing $5K and they reimbursed us, no problem. For now, thank you for the responses and consideration. (Insurance - as they say - "if you don't need it, then you've got too much and if you need it, you can't have enough."

Do you have to be a Good Sam member to buy it? I didn't see anything to indicate that. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

I see the charge on my credit card but have not received a confirmation email from them yet. Quote ~Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
