Travel Insurance: Don't Leave Home Without It
Summary
Before traveling abroad, check if your health insurance covers international destinations. If not, consider purchasing a travel insurance policy.Importance of Travel Insurance
Choosing the right travel insurance policy is crucial when planning your vacation. It ensures peace of mind, covering unforeseen events like hospital stays due to illness or accidents.
Many travelers are unaware that their health insurance may not extend beyond their network or outside the United States. Most medical plans don't cover expenses abroad, making travel insurance vital to avoid financial difficulties. Always verify your coverage details before you travel. Without appropriate medical insurance, you might not have a say in where you're treated in case of an accident.
Understanding Travel Insurance Costs and Coverage
Typically, comprehensive travel insurance costs 5 to 7 percent of your trip's price. Policies often cover lost luggage, medical evacuation, accidental death, medical expenses, personal liability, cancellations, and theft. Ensure that your policy includes detailed claim instructions.
Not all plans are equal. Costs and coverage vary between companies and policies. You can buy insurance for individual trips or opt for an annual policy covering all trips within a year. An annual policy might be more economical for frequent travelers. It might also be wise to purchase both a trip cancellation waiver and a third-party travel insurance policy.
Additional Considerations
Credit card companies often provide travel accident insurance for accidents but usually exclude serious illnesses. When traveling abroad, it’s essential to have insurance that covers medical care.
If you're willing to accept the financial risk, you might skip insurance for domestic travel. However, since 9/11, more travelers consider insurance to protect against unforeseen events like terrorist attacks. Traveling abroad without insurance can be risky, potentially leading to significant financial burdens in case of accidents or illnesses.
