Road map

Summer is here, your bags are packed, you’re ready to go… but have your travel plans accounted for all contingencies? Before you book a flight or plot your route, make sure everything is in order—that includes planning for the best and the worst. You might want to consider including term life insurance in your travel plans.

What exactly is term life insurance?

Term life insurance is a specific type of life insurance policy that guarantees a pre-determined amount of coverage for a set amount of time (that’s the “term” part). Term life insurance is often cheaper than its counterpart, the whole life insurance policy. That’s because whole life generally has higher premiums (according to Consumer Reports).

Why get term life insurance?

Getting term life insurance is all about being prepared. Just like you would double-check your flight’s gate number, plot your road trip route, or make sure your passport is up-to-date, it’s important to plan ahead for whatever comes your way. Term life insurance is a responsible way to help ensure that your loved ones will be taken care of if anything should happen to you. Plus, because it’s often cheaper than whole life insurance, saving money by choosing term life insurance could leave more funds available for other parts of your budget—including your travel budget!
