Traveling abroad? Don’t forget to pack international travel insurance.
Whether sunbathing on the beach in Ibiza, honeymooning in the Maldives, or exploring the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, the perfect vacation can quickly turn into a nightmare if there’s an unexpected travel mishap, injury or illness.
And when they do, they can potentially ruin your trip – and even your finances.
That’s why purchasing travel insurance is an important thing to do when planning a trip abroad.
How travel insurance can help protect international trips
From minor mishaps to major emergencies, international travel insurance can help offer financial protection and support when things go wrong – and even help get travelers back home if need be.
Travel insurance plans can help protect travelers in the event of:
- Emergency medical and dental expenses
- Trip cancellation
- Travel delays
- Missed connections
- Canceled flights due to inclement weather, mechanical breakdown or airline strike.
- Lost, stolen or damaged baggage, or personal effects.
- Emergency medical evacuations, and more
Here are more reasons travel insurance is necessary.
