TRAVEL TIP OF THE DAY - TRAVEL INSURANCE Y/N? - 3.3.2017 TRAVEL TIPS
Should you purchase travel insurance?
There is no cut and dry answer to this question. First we recommend using a credit card to purchase your flight that offers travel insurance as a perk. See below for an example.
Medical travel insurance is not covered by most credit cards. If you tend to get sick or have a preexisting condition then travel insurance might be a good idea. When traveling overseas many countries demand payment up front. If you have medical coverage always check with them to see if they offer coverage overseas.
