re: Travel Insurance - Anybody Buy This for Trips?

I've used this company for trips before. Never had to use it but I looked up reviews for them first and they had good feedback.

I wanted to not only have protection if we cancelled, but since the trips I used them on were out of the US I wanted to make sure I had decent medical coverage if I was injured during my trip. Also wanted to make sure it covered me being flown to a hospital in the US so I wasn't stuck in a primitive hospital in the countries the trips were for(Costa Rica and Mexico). You can just get coverage for the trip or coverage that will also include medical coverage.


My inlaws have gotten travel insurance and had to use it before and besides the hassle of paperwork(keep EVERYTHING for proof later on) they got all their travel expenses back. My cousin didn't buy travel insurance for a 17K trip to Europe and a few days before he was supposed to leave his mother had to undergo urgent surgery and was in the ICU in critical condition....he lost all that money he spent on the trip.
