A PRIME Insurance Special Travel Alert

With international terrorism becoming more widespread, the US State Department has cautioned Americans who travel about safety measures.

13 Precautions for the US Traveler

• Make plane reservations on non-stop flights. If this is not an option, steer clear of stopovers known for terror risks.
  
• Prior to your trip, purchase a good travel insurance policy that will compensate you should the unexpected occur – from the regular stuff to medical emergency assistance.
  
• Dress inconspicuously.
  
• Do not place bright personal markings on any piece of luggage. This only makes you stand out as a tourist.
  
• Following arrival time and luggage collection, leave the airport immediately.

• Practice vigilance at all times. If you see something or someone suspicious, notify police.
  
• Travel only with a clearly marked car service vehicle. Check to see if the driver is the same person depicted on his displayed license picture.
  
• Never give a detailed account of your itinerary to the car service driver or any other stranger.
  
• Take necessary precautions to avoid others eavesdropping on any dialogue you have with someone else.
  
• Do not open your hotel door before verifying you recognize the person who knocked.
  
• Do not accept any package that you know nothing about.
  
• Inspect your rental car prior to driving to ensure it is in sound driving condition and has not been tampered with.
  
• Lock car doors and windows when driving in slower traffic.
