You can’t prevent the unexpected from happening before or during your trip, but you can protect your trip investment if it does. Vacations can take a year to save up for and only a moment to ruin. Medical treatment or lost luggage can leave you with unexpected and expensive bills, such as the emergency evacuations that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Despite the best planning, events that are out of your control can derail your trip. Travel insurance can help with the financial impact of these unexpected circumstances, as well as provide assistance in an emergency.
