Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. It’s also one of the most unpredictable.

Over the past year, flight cancellations and long delays have become far more common. That’s where travel insurance comes in.

Travel insurance can help protect your trip when the unexpected happens. There are a number of issues that can derail travel plans, but coverage may help by:

🔹Reimbursing non-refundable expenses if a trip is canceled.
🔹Covering costs tied to flight delays like hotel stays, meals, and transportation.
🔹Helping to offset the cost of purchasing essentials if your baggage is lost or delayed.
🔹Providing coverage for medical emergencies while traveling.
🔹Offering emergency evacuation coverage, in certain cases.

No one wants their travel plans disrupted, so having coverage in place can make those situations easier to manage if they arise. And in the meantime, the right travel insurance lets you focus on enjoying your trip rather than worrying about delays and unexpected extra costs.

With National Small Business Week here, we wanted to share some key insurance considerations for any small businesses navigating higher costs.

When budgets are tight, it might seem like a good idea to keep coverage lean, but being underinsured can cause devastating consequences. Here are a few risks of not having enough insurance:

✅ A loss can become an out-of-pocket event - If building, inventory, equipment, or tools are underinsured, you can end up paying the gap between what your policy covers and the actual cost to repair or replace the lost item(s) after a fire, theft, or storm, even if you “have a policy.”

✅ Income can stop, but bills keep coming - Property coverage can help offset repair costs in the event of damage. But without the right business income coverage, payroll, rent, and ongoing bills keep coming even when operations and cash flow have paused.

✅ Liability can spill past your limits - A single claim can bring legal defense costs, settlements, and medical expenses that exceed your limits, creating a significant financial burden.

If you have questions or are interested in adding additional coverages, give us a call. Our team can help find a solution that respects your budget and strengthens your long-term protection.

Saving for a rainy day matters — but having the right insurance in place matters even more when life throws a curveball.

Here are a few quick questions to help you check in on your coverage:

• Do you have life insurance, and is the amount still right for your needs?
• Would your current policies support you financially if you couldn’t work for a period of time?
• Are there optional coverages or riders you’ve been putting off?
• Has it been a while since you sat down for a full insurance review?

The goal is simple: when life gets tough, you should be able to focus on what matters most — not paperwork or financial stress.

Our team at Barrows Insurance Agency is here to help you make sure your protection is where it needs to be. Give us a call anytime to schedule a quick coverage review.
