The Importance of Travel Insurance

An item many consumers consider a luxury because it’s usually so expensive, is probably one of the most important things for you to buy before you travel outside of the country. There are many types of travel insurance. Some provide coverage for only medical expenses, others provide coverage for medical and related travel expenses, other cover everything from your travel costs to lost baggage to medical/dental. Travel Insurance can cost you anywhere from $15 to $500, or even more depending on how extensive and broad your travel insurance is. Although it is very rare or hard to find travel insurance that is $15 or less it is not recommended for you to purchase travel insurance at that low of a price unless it is from a reliable company and contains a good amount of protection for you.

Why is Travel Insurance Important?

It’s like buying car insurance, although expensive it is necessary because although the insurance might be slightly expensive if something happens and you don’t have insurance it can be a lot more expensive. “If you don’t have coverage, any accidents, emergencies, losses and cancellation costs will come out of your pocket.  With a good travel insurance policy you are protected at all times from the moment your trip is booked, to the moment you return home.” 

What is the Minimum my Travel Insurance Should Have?

•   Out of country emergency medical coverage

•   Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption

•   Loss/Theft of Baggage and Valuables

•   24-hour Access to a Representative (By Phone Directly to the Insurance Company)
