Tracking lost luggage, sending and receiving emergency messages, and obtaining the latest worldwide medical alerts are just a free phone call away for travelers or traveling groups who insure their trip with CSA Travel Protection.

These and other helpful benefits have joined the worldwide 24-Hour Emergency Assistance Services included free with three CSA travel insurance plans: CSA VACATION GUARANTEE(r), CSAWebDirect and CSA Group Guarantee(tm). Pre-trip assistance, translation-service referrals, and U.S. Embassy and consular referrals join six long-established assistance services for policyholders: pre-travel advice, medical referrals, and assistance with emergency cash transfers, lost tickets and passports, and emergency prescription refills.

"Adding these important services gives consumers even greater peace of mind before and during their travels," said Claudia Fullerton, Chief Operating Officer of CSA Travel Protection, a leading worldwide travel insurance provider. "With a single toll-free or collect phone call from anywhere in the world, they can reach our assistance provider 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for immediate aid."

The newly added services provided for travelers include:

• Lost Baggage Tracking: Travelers can continue on their vacation while the assistance provider tracks their lost luggage.
• Emergency Messaging: The assistance provider provides emergency messaging to and from the travelers' home and/or family, friends, personal physicians and employers.
• Worldwide Medical Information: Necessary inoculation and vaccination information, and detailed general health and medical descriptions of destinations around the world.
• Pre-Trip Assistance: Information on travel destinations, city profiles, weather, special events, ATM locations, currency exchange rates, immunization and passport requirements, and related services.
• Translation Services: Referrals to local interpreters or telephone-translation services.
• Embassy and Consular Services: Referrals to travelers needing the assistance of U.S. embassies and consulates.
