And that, my overworked, underpaid and in need of a good vacation friends, is why you should be investing in a little travel insurance. “Comprehensive travel insurance plans offer the most protection for travelers,” Lynne Peters, director of product at InsureMyTrip.com, says via email.“These provide a variety of benefits including trip cancellation, trip interruption, emergency medical coverage, emergency medical evacuation, 24/7 emergency assistance, travel delay and baggage protection. And no, travel insurance isn’t simply clicking that little pop-up box that comes up when you go to book your flight. That, Peters said, likely won't cover any of your other travel expenses or provide you with emergency medical coverage and key benefits that traditional travel insurance offers. And if you happen to have travel plans during this particularly destructive and dangerous hurricane season travel insurance may be just what you need.
