I know what you might thinking: Why do you even need a travel insurance policy? I mean: what is the worst that could happen? Right? Well let’s say on your trip to a foreign land, you get injured or have to be hospitalized because you fell ill, a travel insurance policy comes in hand. But let’s say “God protects us” as we are known to imply in these parts and that does not happen but your flight gets cancelled or your luggage goes missing, a travel insurance policy will have you at ease then too. You hire a car and get in an accident, an insurance policy takes care of the extra cost. What is more? If you travel with a big entourage as in family, as in children, a travel insurance comes in handy as they are all covered in most packages.
In truth, you do not always need a travel insurance policy and if you happen to be able to afford the extra expenses or maybe you got those flight tickets cheap and you are flying domestic or you are flying last minute to a domestic destination, then you might really need one.
