Many people ask about travel insurance when they travel. Purchasing a vacation can be a decent sized investment and it is good to be sure it will be protected in case you have an unexpected change of plans. Trip insurance can help protect you if you have to cancel your trip or even if you take your trip and incur additional expenses due to lost baggage, change of flights, or other delays. Did you know you may even need medical coverage while on vacation? Travel insurance can help with that as well. ***Please read the policy you purchase carefully to be sure what is and is not covered***
You can often purchase travel insurance as an add on when you purchase your vacation. If you do a lot of travel you may want to purchase an annual plan or just compare costs and coverages by purchasing your own travel insurance. You can purchase your travel insurance on your own through other companies such as Travel Guard and Allianz Travel Insurance.

I always recommend purchasing travel insurance. Vacations are something special we save up for and that investment should be protected by the right travel insurance.
