Accidental Death and Dismemberment (Travel Club with AD&D Benefits) insurance can provide compensation for you and your family in case you are seriously injured or killed due to an accident. For some people, life insurance is sufficient, but for others with dangerous occupations, life insurance isn\u2019t enough. Like car insurance, nobody anticipates using it, but coverage needs to be calculated in advance in order to be sufficient. Taking a little bit of time to calculate how much Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage you need can provide peace of mind for you and your family in the event of a worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n

What Does Travel Club with AD&D Benefits Insurance Cover?<\/h2>\n

Travel Club with AD&D Benefits insurance<\/a> typically supplements most life insurance policies<\/a> to provide compensation in case the insured dies as the result of a car accident, exposure to the elements, drowning, accidents involving heavy equipment, a fall, or homicide. It also covers accidents that result in the loss of a limb or loss of a thumb and index finger, as well as loss of speech, hearing, or sight.<\/p>\n

The purpose of Travel Club with AD&D Benefits insurance<\/a> is to protect your family from financial hardship should an accident prevent you from working due to a covered event or death. Benefits from Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage are paid out in addition to any benefits from life insurance policies. The key to ensuring you have enough coverage is knowing how much financial support your family will need.<\/p>\n

How Much Travel Club with AD&D Benefits Coverage Do You Need?<\/h2>\n

The answer to this question isn\u2019t easy and depends upon you and your unique situation. There are a few things to consider before calculating your Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Outstanding debt obligations, including mortgages, credit cards, student loans, utilities, and car payments.<\/li>\n
  2. In addition to your outstanding debts, you should also consider whether your spouse is employed. If he or she is able to make payments without relying on your income, you likely won\u2019t need as much Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage as you would if you were the sole breadwinner.<\/li>\n
  3. Next, consider whether you have a dangerous career or engage in risky behavior. Many insurance carriers won\u2019t cover risky activity, so keep that in mind. But if you travel often or if your job is in a high-risk industry, you might want to consider Travel Club with AD&D Benefits insurance as a lower cost supplement to a regular life insurance policy.<\/li>\n
  4. In addition to the amount of Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage, you also need to consider the type that\u2019s best for you. There are three types of Travel Club with AD&D Benefits coverage:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Enrollee Only: Covers only you<\/p>\n

    Enrollee + Family: Covers you, your children, and your spouse or domestic partner<\/p>\n

    Modified Family: Covers you and your children<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Next, choose a face amount for your policy. The higher the face amount, the higher the premiums are. Most Travel Club with AD&D Benefits premiums are a bargain compared to what they actually cover. For accidental death, your Travel Club with AD&D Benefits beneficiary will typically receive 100 percent of the face amount. For accidents covered by the policy, including loss of a limb or loss of sight, your Travel Club with AD&D Benefits payout will be a portion of the face amount.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
