This is on trip insurance, especially for a cobbled together trip, not dive insurance.
I never bought trip insurance yet and in essence I do not really know how to buy meaningful trip insurance. Can you help me out, maybe by explaining how it would be done in this example:
Say I will buy a week of LOB from a US based dive booking company for an LOB trio in Egypt. Say the actual LOB provider sits in Egypt (no idea really).
Say I already have flights purchased to Europe for a multi week stay.
Say I will buy other flights from Europe from amn airline there to Egypt... and yet another flight (maybe same provider, maybe not) back to Europe.
Say the Egypt stay lengths is 9 days or so (could be longer with additional travel). Say there are eventually also a couple of hotel stays booked (booked through whatever website or the hotel, whoever has the better deal) and a couple of 3h transfer rides booked from an outfit in Egypt.
Booking all that won't all happen at the same time.
So, then, when in that process does one purchase what kind of trip insuracne and typically, what does it cover and what not?
Does one buy it immediately with the booking of the first thing and then, somehow, add to it or does one (need to) wait until the last thing is decided on and booked... or?
Does one insure the whole trip as one thing or the Europe trip separately from the Egypt trip within - or?
I.e.: does the insurance cover all cost if i.e the Europe to Egypt carrier goes out of business ... or just the Egypt related part or nothing because that's not covered somehow...
Yes, I know, there are a lot of threads and if the how to and does and don'ts of such a cobbled together trip in terms of trip insurance were covered somewhere I must have missed it.
