RoundTrip Travel Benefit program - Brochure January 1, 2001

WHY ROUNDTRIP?

So you'll be prepared. Who knows what could happen during a trip abroad - or before you even depart. Not only does RoundTrip help ensure you're prepared in the event of an accident, sickness or loss when traveling, it can even help if something causes your trip to be cancelled.

While we've optimized RoundTrip's medical coverage for most travelers, you may determine you need greater coverage or specific benefits. Consider Liaison® International or other plans from SRI for up to $5,000,000 of international medical limits. We can create a plan that's right for you. Specialty Risk International, Inc. (SRI)
