I already wrote about the reasons you need travel insurance, but here are 10 more reasons if you wasn’t convinced about it yet.

  1. A culinary adventure in Pakistan brings you gastric problems, and you don’t want to spend hours and hours trying to convince somebody to attend you at the hospital, having holiday insurance saves you money and time.
  2. A terrorist act occurs at the airport. The airport is closed, all flights are canceled. Who will assist you until the airport operates again?
  3. Food poisoning during your mountain bike tour. When getting to your final destination, instead of arriving to the nice booked  hotel for a deserved rest, you must go to the hospital.
  4. In dangerous neighborhoods you are assaulted  – if you report it within 24 hours to the police, the insurance will also take care of you putting you in the best medical care.
  5. A shark bite puts you in hospital. You are scared and all you want to do is your parents coming to see you.

So be sure to read your travel insurance documents very carefully
to see where you stand, and whether your insurer has a way out of covering your costs. You’ll also want to be clear on the exact process for making a claim, as this can differ from insurer to insurer.

Travel insurance makes you feel a little bit more comfortable on your trip. Especially on long one. But did you ever read full fine print of your travel insurance? Doesn’t matter you are covered by your credit card insurance or you are buying separate coverage in either case find a minute and read it.

Latest events related with eruption of volcano in Island shows you should be very careful with choosing travel insurer as some companies were deeming the event an ”unforeseen act of God” and refusing to cover  expenses.  But that is one of reason people are buying insurance – to get some help when something unexpected happens. Why would I need travel insurance otherwise?

So very carefully read your travel insurance policy, all exceptions and may be it is worth to pay couple $ more and get proper coverage in stead of getting cheapest available travel insurance policy which doesn’t cover so much as you would expect.
