Motorcycles – one of the biggest savings available on daily travel

Jun 13 2011 /RTPR/ – Budget conscious motorists could be missing one of the biggest savings available on daily travel – Motorcycles! Did you know that small motorbikes and scooters can achieve well over 100 miles per gallon? How does that compare with your car?

Look around during your commute and you will notice that most cars have one occupant. That is a lot of spare space and metal to drag around and means they are simply burning money as fuel.

Learning to ride is not as difficult as you might think either; a one-day CBT test is all that is required for smaller motorcycles and scooters. Even if you can’t see yourself as a motorcyclist, then you will still gain vital road knowledge from the perspective of people on two wheels.

Switching from a medium sized car to a 125cc motorbike will net you savings on fuel, tax and insurance and in many cases will cover the cost of a brand new motorbike in the first year.

Combine all of the monetary advantages with the fact that motorcycles are great fun and can cut right through the traffic and they offer a solution to modern traffic problems that cannot be ignored.

http://www.cbt-test-training.info gives people looking to take their first steps in to the world of motorcycling all the information required from the moment they learn to ride a motorbike right through to taking the CBT or bike test.

Changes to International Student Health Insurance

The latest international student health insurance plan benefit and rate changes have been incorporated in the popular student insurance comparison engine at, www.zinternationalstudent.com. The website offers a wide range of international student insurance, exchange student insurance, and study abroad health insurance.

These plans are available for both foreign students enrolling at US universities and US students going overseas for study abroad programs. The website permits comparing plans from various carriers and makes it easy for users to identify unique benefits that make each plan different from the other.

The first quarter of 2011 has seen numerous changes in rates, benefits & exclusions and the latest update helps students and program coordinators shop for the best value insurance. For example, one of the popular plans in the J visa exchange student community saw a steep increase in rates for dependant children less than 5 years.

US students pursuing a study abroad program are forced to seek coverage outside of their regular domestic HMO or PPO plan because these plans offer very limited or no coverage outside the US. Besides, the international student insurance plans offer the medical evacuation and repatriation for returning home (these benefits are typically absent with HMO and domestic PPO plans).

If you’re coming to the United States under a student exchange program, you will be required to have a valid J1 insurance policy for the duration of the program. If you’re stay is of limited duration, then there are plans that cover trips as short as five days and can is renewable if you choose the right plan.

Chiranth Nataraj, CEO of International Services, Inc said, “it is important for students to check with student advisors on the latest minimum insurance requirements so that they can easily pick a plan that meets all the requirements. When one knows what is required then our website will help you pick a plan within 2 minutes”.

Sometimes, individual preferences go beyond the minimum requirements specified by the University. The discerning can seek out plans that cover preexisting conditions, pregnancies, mental health etc; while the cost conscious can purchase the bare minimum and save on premium.

Finding value in insurance premiums and benefits has been made easy by the updates at www.zinternationalstudent.com; the site remains invaluable for international students and their advisors.

Atlas America Insurance Recent Updates

Recent changes to rates and benefits of atlas america insurance plan appear to have been received well in the market. atlas america insurance offered at www.eatlasamericainsurance.com is an insurance policy for non-US citizens visiting the United States, whether it is for business, pleasure or study.

The premium rates in most age brackets had seen an increase. The biggest increase in premiums was in the senior age bracket. This has been explained by an experienced insurance agent marketing the plans as, “we had seen this coming. There are thousands of seniors touring and visiting family in the US; the older generation has had the most hospitalizations.”

US Hospitalization bills can shock foreign travelers visiting the US. A single day at a US hospital can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to several thousand dollars. The cost can vary depending on the services rendered and the geographical location of the service provider. Prudent travelers to the US protect their travels with one of the many travel health insurance plans available in the open market like the Atlas America insurance.

The plan administrators also revised the plan to exclude coverage for medical bills arising from treatment of injuries sustained during participation in inter-collegiate, inter-scholastic, intramural and club sports/activities. “Once again, claims history and experience has forced this revision. Injuries during these organized sports are very common; treating & mending broken ankles and wrists are not cheap in the US” said the same insurance agent.

These plan revisions take little away from the favorable atlas america insurance experience US visitors and travelers have had over the years. The plan continues to be one of the best visitor insurance products in the market. The many years of experience of the staff providing the policy claims and service makes it one of the most reliable plans.

International Services Inc. a leading visitor health insurance and international student insurance agency operates
www.eAtlasAmericaInsurance.com featuring the Atlas America Insurance policy. “We have earned the trust of our clients by providing good solutions. The Atlas plan is indeed good value for the money” said Chiranth Nataraj, CEO of the company.
