travel Insurance - doubt?????

[thomking]

Hello everyone!!!!
Do my parents need to have the policy papers with them when they are traveling? I am planning to purcha the policy online and have the papers delivered to the US?
Needs suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

I have used travel insurance on many occasions and never carried the papers with me. I'm not sure if your traveling to or from the US? and where is the other country. I'll do some checking.

thanks for your reply friend!!!
Can you tell me your what happened when you did not carried your insurance?

I use World Nomads Travel Insurance.

They send you a receipt email confirming your purchase of coverage and your travel insurance members’ log-in details. All of your policy documentation is permanently available online. You to access any time you need it.

I've also purchased a policy after already leaving for my destination once I decided I would need it. Thats pretty nice since most travel insurance require you to purchase it before leaving your country of residence.

Happy Travels!

I think you should have your insurance papers at hand just in case of emergency... as well as emergency numbers and what not :-)
