Let’s start by answering the question: “Do the majority of travelers get travel insurance?”
Choosing travel insurance is a personal decision. As your travel advisor, I’ll help you understand coverage options so you can choose what’s right. Plans vary by destination, trip length, and investment.
That said, about 80 percent of my travelers choose some form of travel insurance. This is especially common for international travel, cruises, and higher value trips where there is more at stake. Many travelers appreciate having protection for unexpected medical expenses, trip interruptions, delays, or emergencies.
With different coverage options available, travel insurance can be tailored to fit your specific plans. For many travelers, the peace of mind it provides is just as valuable as the coverage itself.
Do I recommend travel insurance?
Yes, especially for international travel.
Many travelers are unaware that their regular health insurance often does not cover medical care outside their home country. Travel insurance helps cover medical emergencies, evacuations, trip interruptions, and early returns for urgent situations.
Even in the U.S., insurance protects your trip and eases stress if plans change.
Do I personally purchase travel insurance?
Yes, I always purchase travel insurance for international trips. While it is not the most exciting expense, like any type of insurance, it brings peace of mind. When the unexpected happens, having coverage in place makes all the difference.
Is travel insurance worth it?
If you are planning an international vacation, taking a cruise, or simply want the reassurance of medical coverage while traveling, travel insurance is worth considering.
With both personal and professional experience in travel insurance, I can help guide you through the available options. Every trip is unique, and together we can choose the coverage that best fits your plans so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind.
