Travel Insurance - Not All Plans are Created Equally

Travel Insurance is a topic that I am very passionate about & do encourage my clients to always insure their trip because you never know what might happen that would force you to cancel your trip.  Or worse, you get sick while traveling and end up needing medical care which can be expensive.  Travel Insurance is there to help you navigate foreign medical care systems & assist with payment of any claims while traveling should the need arise.  People assume that they will have coverage from their credit card or from their own personal medical insurance carrier, but you have to do your due diligence by looking into the details of those coverages.

As detailed by one of our trusted Travel Insurance providers:
