What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance intends to cover medical expenses, financial default of travel suppliers, and other losses incurred while traveling, either within one’s own country or internationally.
Temporary insurance can usually be arranged when booking a trip to cover exactly the duration of that trip. A “multi-trip” policy can cover an unlimited number of trips within a set time frame.
Coverage varies and can be purchased to include higher risk items such as “winter sports.”
