Another important benefit of travel insurance is that it provides protection against trip cancellation and interruption. When an emergency arises before or during a vacation, travelers may have to cancel or cut short their trips. Since they have already paid for their vacations, they will stand to lose a substantial amount of money. Travel insurance ensures that they will get compensation for losses that result from trip cancellation or interruption. Additionally, those who have a travel policy will get coverage for loss baggage or personal belongings.

If you're a frequent traveler, getting a travel insurance is a must. You never know if you will an accident while your away or any other unfortunate circumstance. It's good if you're ready for these.

Travel insurance was key when my wife and I found out that we were having a baby and my parents had taken it out on the Caribean Cruise trip they are taking the whole family on. Thanks to the insurance we will be able to go on the cruise within 2 years.

Hmmm - everyone likes travel insurance? In general, if you live your life by hiring someone to assume the small risks that you encounter in everyday life, your chances of building wealth are diminished.
Consider what is involved - eg, a car warranty. An insurer has to find the average cost of repairs for that specific car or class of cars. They have to sell to a large group of clients so that their costs will be averaged across the group. They take the average cost of repairs for your car, add the cost of their buildings, overhead, employee salaries, and profit - and charge that premium. In other words, you pay an average of about twice the cost (marketing actually costs more that the repairs, for most types of insurance).
So - buy insurance only for things that you cannot afford to self-insure - that would be a house fire, a $200,000 heart attack, a $200,000 cancer, a multimillion law suit, etc. And it would NOT be car repair, appliance repair, TV repair, 'gap' insurance on a car note, travel insurance, etc. If you hire someone to take these small risks for you thruout your life, you will pay almost twice for your purchases.

If you have a lot of money to spare whenever you travel, you must not think twice of getting a travel insurance. Though the risk of you needing it is low, it doesn't really hurt to be prepared.

When planning a trip abroad, travel insurance is often viewed as a secondary consideration, and the process of booking flights and hotels is often at the forefront of peoples minds. Some people do not even take out travel insurance. Not getting a policy prior to travelling is a big mistake, as you will be missing out on the many benefits and essential protections that it provides.
