Wondering About Travel Insurance?
Traveling alone is great. But being seriously sick or injured and alone, not so much. Travel insurance has helped me in many ways.
- I just couldn't leave my mother to travel when she got sick. Fortunately, my travel insurance reimbursed me for my flights which was all I had spent to date.
- I lost my prescription glasses on a hike in the UK. When I got home I was surprised to learn that my travel insurance would pay out up to $300 for them.
- I was in Sydney, Australia when a crown popped off a tooth. I had it fixed by a local dentist and recovered the cost from my travel insurance.
- It takes just minutes to buy travel insurance. You could be thankful you did for the rest of your life. Here are two companies to check out.
