Trip insurance: a Must, especially for international travel
Get trip insurance. It really is a must-have. Once overseas, your medical insurance may not be valid. In any medical situation, you want coverage. It also protects your trip investment in case of illness or injury of you or a family member or travel partner which prevents you from being able to go on your planned trip.
Further: baggage protection, trip delay, air cancellations and rebooking, and more.
We have literally seen dozens and dozens of our travel friends save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the decades we have been offering tours. We NEVER leave the States without a policy. It protects you while on the trip. It protects you deposited monies before the trip. Get a policy.
