Why buy Travel Insurance?

Your vacation can take a year to save for, but only a second to ruin. While you can't do anything to prevent an unexpected storm from closing the airport, you can help cover your investment by buying travel insurance. Travelers list 3 top reasons for buying travel insurance: Peace of mind, protection against the unexpected, and protecting their trip investment.

Travel insurance can provide you with the best coverage for medical expenses, trip cancellation or interruption, baggage damage, medical evacuation, and much more.

Temporary travel insurance can usually be arranged at the time of the booking of a trip to cover exactly the duration of that trip, or a "multi-trip" policy can cover an unlimited number of trips within a set time frame. Coverage varies, and can be purchased to include higher risk items such as "winter sports".

Make sure you know what your travel insurance covers or doesn't cover. Common exclusions are: Pre-existing medical conditions, War or terrorism - but some plans may cover this risk, and some do cover for acts of terrorism, injury or illness caused by alcohol or drug use, injuries sustained by motorbike riding unless you have an option or rider on your policy. So remember that before renting a motorbike for touring.

Usually, the insurers cover pregnancy related expenses, if the travel occurs within the first trimester. After that, insurance coverage varies from insurer to insurer.

Travel insurance can also provide helpful services, often 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that can include concierge services and emergency travel assistance.
