Are you hesitating to get a travel insurance because it's additional cost and you might not need it? What are your reasons why you don't want to get it?

I've read and heard several events and untoward incidents where travelers caught in an accident, hospitalized during their trip.... They didn't have travel insurance so it cost them thousands of money.

Now I tell you, you need to get that travel insurance, it will protect you financially in case of emergencies or unforeseen events. Having travel insurance can provide you with peace of mind and can help you to manage any risks that may arise during your trip.

There are several types of travel insurance, and different plans can provide coverage for different things. Some of the most common types of coverage include:

Trip cancellation and interruption coverage: Reimburse non-refundable expenses if you need to cancel or delay your trip due to a covered reason, such as illness, weather, or a death in the family.
Emergency medical coverage: Helps cover the cost of medical treatment and evacuation if you become ill or injured while traveling.
Baggage and personal effects coverage: Helps you reimburse for the cost of lost, stolen, or damaged baggage and personal items.
Travel delay coverage: Helps cover the cost of meals, accommodations, and other expenses if your flight or other transportation is delayed.
24/7 travel assistance: Many travel insurance plans include a service that can provide you with assistance if you need help while traveling, such as with lost passports, translation services, and emergency medical and legal referrals.

Review the coverage options available and pick a plan that best suit your needs. It's also important to understand what is covered and what is not and to know how to file a claim if necessary.

Note that some credit card companies offer travel insurance coverage to cardholders and you might have coverage from your credit card without having to buy additional insurance. Travel insurance can be purchased for single trips or for multiple trips, depending on the plan. Some insurance providers also offer annual policies that cover multiple trips over the course of a year.
