The more I have travelled, the more I have realized how important travel insurance is. If the pandemic showed us anything, it’s how unpredictable the world can be (which reminds me…have you heard about The Longest Third Date?).

If you look at the United States Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, you can see that so far in 2024 (and it’s only April!), more than 134,000 flights have been delayed and more than 22,000 have been cancelled.

Your vacation is likely a significant investment, so it makes sense to protect that investment.

Here a some of the things that travel insurance can protect:

• Trip Cancellation
• Trip Interruption
• Trip Delay
• Lost baggage and personal belongings
• Baggage delay
• Emergency accident & sickness medical coverage
• Emergency medical evacuation
• Missed connections
• Itinerary changes

Before deciding what insurance to purchase, be sure to consider what your needs are.  Are you looking for trip cancellation insurance, medical/accident insurance, insurance for lost or damaged items or luggage, all of the above, or something else?

Listed below are what I consider to be a few of the best travel insurance companies around. If you’re traveling soon and considering buying insurance, you need to check these companies out!
