Santa's Travel List
Don’t forget medical expenses
Santa might be an old hand at delivering gifts, but when it comes to visiting all the children around the world, he still needs to make sure he has travel insurance. Long haul travel like his through all types of weather and locations can result in sickness and injuries, and medical cover can be astronomical in certain parts of the world - even for Santa!
Santa knows he has some pre-existing medical conditions that he may not be automatically covered for. He always reads the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and makes sure that his travel insurance policy provides him with the cover that is suitable for his type of overseas trip.
… and dental cover
Santa wouldn’t admit to this, but he sometimes dips into the candy bags he leaves for his Elves as a treat and Mrs Claus has had to pull him up on this many a time!
He makes sure he has dental cover for his sound and natural teeth when he’s travelling, in case he experiences acute pain when on his sleigh deliveries. Last year he cracked a tooth while snacking on a toffee apple, but he was lucky his travel insurance covered him for the emergency dental care.
Mrs Claus hopes he learnt his lesson because that cracked tooth won’t be covered anymore, just his other natural teeth!
Make sure you have cover for lost or damaged pressies!
Santa is carrying some precious cargo with him during his present delivery spree, and the last thing he (or any child) needs is to lose some or all of the gifts! Imagine what Christmas morning would be like…
Santa takes out Specified High Value items on his Comprehensive travel insurance policy for additional cover for the presents. He has also purchased additional cover for his iPad – who can navigate the world without Google Maps?
… and additional expenses
Christmas is such a busy period for Santa and his Elves. If something happened to any of his Elves, Santa would be devastated and would want to return to the North Pole to give them some extra love and care. They’re his family after all!
So if an Elf unexpectedly became seriously sick or injured, Santa’s Comprehensive travel insurance can provide cover for the extra expenses he’ll incur if he has to cut his delivery trip short.
Cover cancellation costs
It’s very rare that Santa Claus won’t be able to make his present delivery run, and sometimes Mrs Claus has been called upon to help her husband out. Santa doesn’t mind though – as Mrs Claus says, she knows best.
Should the unspeakable happen and Santa was unexpectedly sick, or injured himself tripping over the mountains of presents in his warehouse, his travel insurance can provide cover for the cancellation costs he might incur. The cost of hiring his sleigh for an around the world trip doesn’t come cheap!
Are you travelling in 2020? Buying travel insurance can save you from the costs of potential unforeseen events that might pop in between now and your departure date.
As always, wishing you a happy and safe holiday!
