Travel Insurance
Why Buy Travel Insurance?
There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek
emergency medical treatment while traveling.
Travel insurance gives travelers coverage for unforeseen problems, from a cancelled flight to a serious illness—or in rare
cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier. If an illness, accident, or other covered
unforeseen circumstance forces a traveler to cancel or interrupt their plans, they face two major financial losses—money
invested in nonrefundable pre-payments, and medical expenses that in many instances may not be covered by health
insurance.
In addition to trip cancellation and interruption, the more comprehensive travel insurance plans available today may also
cover emergency medical expenses; emergency medical transportation, when ordered by a doctor, to the nearest
adequate medical facility; reimbursement for accommodations and expenses incurred due to travel delays;
reimbursement for the purchase of essential items if baggage is delayed; and coverage against lost, stolen or damaged
baggage.
