Even though the general consensus among travelers is that having travel insurance is not that important you may want to take a second look at the benefits.
When you should highly consider travel insurance:
- During hurricane season.
- Traveling with children or elderly.
- If you have a close sick relative.
Reasons to consider travel insurance even if none of the above apply:
- If the price lowers you can get a refund [on some plans*].
- Trip assurance.
- Unexpected disasters.
- Reimbursements for medical costs.
- You just want the peace of mind while traveling.
Some credit cards offer travel insurance for a nominal fee that can cover you up to a year and some cards cover any person’s trip if it is purchased on the card.
*Some insurance plans will reimburse you the difference in price if you find the same vacation for less.
