Travel Insurance

ABOVE: The pigeon may be cute, but if you're pecked to the point of missing the plane, travel insurance can save the day.

If you're like most people, you'd rather spend your money on a good dinner than on trip-insurance coverage. But travel insurance can be worthwhile, especially when you've spent money upfront for a nonrefundable or only partly refundable tour, cruise, or air tickets. It can also reduce the financial consequences of lost baggage, emergency medical treatment or evacuation, bankrupt airlines or tour companies, and other travel-related disasters

Where to buy travel insurance

photoTravel agencies and cruise lines often sell travel insurance, but not all policies are the same--which means it pays to compare coverage before you buy. Our advertising partner, Insure My Trip, makes it easy to do just that. Insure My Trip has been praised or plugged by Consumer Reports, USA Today, National Public Radio, and other major media, thanks to an automated comparison tool that lets you find the most suitable coverage among 44 policies from 14 insurers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Continental Europe.
