Why Should a Traveler Buy Travel Insurance

Travel insurance gives travelers coverage for unforeseen problems, from a cancelled flight to serious illness – or in rare cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier.  If an illness, accident, or other covered unforeseen circumstance forces a traveler to cancel or interrupt their plans, they face two major financial losses – money invested in nonrefundable pre-payments, and medical expenses that in many instances may not be covered by health insurance.
