Travel insurance does a number of things. It can protect the trip cost, as well as provide medical coverage on the trip, trip delay, baggage delay, baggage loss and a number of other important coverages.

Any time you leave the country, travel insurance is a must. This would apply to any person of any age and on any trip. Traveling to a foreign country with no medical coverage can be a life altering devastating experience. The cost of travel insurance (when the trip cost is low) is typically very cheap but ciritcal. Medicare and many US based health insurance plans will not provide adequate medical coverage while traveling outside of the U.S.

In the last 6 months, missed connections, baggage loss, baggage delay and trip delay are up over 57%. Having coverage for all these potential scenarios is crucial. Travel insurance is powerful for many reasons- it can protect you financially, protect you medically and also protect you against the inconveniences of modern day travel.
