Travel Advice

At Sara World Travel, we believe that good preparation is the key to a smooth and enjoyable trip. Whether you’re planning a quick getaway or an extended vacation, following these travel tips can make your journey much more hassle-free:

Use a Travel Agent

As your travel advisor, I offer unbiased recommendations, expert guidance, and professional services. I save you time by handling all aspects of your vacation, ensuring every detail is perfectly planned. With access to exclusive deals, I provide added value and personalized touches that enhance your travel experience. And of course, there is no savings in trying to do it all on your own with the popular travel

Book Early

Planning ahead is essential, especially if you’re considering international travel or peak season destinations. I recommend booking your flights, accommodations, and tours 6 to 12 months in advance to get the best deals and ensure availability. Popular destinations can fill up fast, so booking early gives you the upper hand!

Get Your Passport Early

If you’re traveling internationally, make sure your passport is ready well before your departure. It’s important to check the expiration date too—many countries require passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned return date. If you need to renew or apply for a new passport, start the process as early as possible.

Know the Destination Status

Before you travel, stay informed about the current status of your destination. Be aware of any health advisories, entry requirements, or travel restrictions. It’s a good idea to check official government websites and local news for updates on your destination.

Get Your International Driver’s License

Planning to drive while abroad? Make sure you have an International Driver’s License. You can easily get this through your local AAA office. Having this license ensures you can legally rent and drive vehicles in many foreign countries, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Get Travel Insurance

Unexpected events can happen during travel, from flight cancellations to medical emergencies. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover these potential risks. Travel insurance can protect you from financial losses due to trip delays, lost luggage, or medical issues that may arise while you’re abroad. It’s a small investment for peace of mind on your trip.

Insurance Company

Allianz Travel Insurance is the company I use and recommend to my clients. It is a very personal choice on what is best for you and your family.

I generally quote 3 plans to start and can send more based on needs of client.

To secure full coverage there is a 14 day window from initial payment for trip to start a policy.

I can generate a quotes and send directly to your in box with all the details of each policy.

Why Travel Insurance?

I know travel insurance can seem like just one more expense, and many travelers ask the question why buy travel insurance and why get travel insurance? Here are the most important reasons to buy travel insurance.
