]]>Even the most well-planned travel is sure to include certain risks, and the decision of whether to purchase travel insurance will depend on how willing you are to assume them. If you’re comfortable accepting the potential losses that may come with cancellations or emergencies, you may be fine forgoing insurance. On the other hand, if you prefer to have a safety net, opting for insurance is probably the wiser choice. Shop around to find a plan proportional to your plans.
If you’ve already got policies in areas like health and homeowner’s insurance, check with your provider to see if they include coverage for some of the risks you might encounter while traveling. It’s possible that you may not need to buy additional travel insurance at all—your existing coverage may be enough.
The nature of your destination and travel plans are also key factors in what kind and how much insurance you may need. For example, if you’re traveling to a remote or politically unstable place where you plan to partake in a lot of high-risk activities, purchasing a comprehensive insurance plan is probably a good idea. If your plans are more low-risk, and you’re not spending a lot of money, it may not be necessary.

Most people don’t think about having travel insurance because you never think you’re going to get sick while you’re traveling. Or hurt. Or into any sort of accident. But, whether you’re traversing mountains or just hopping from city to city, it’s really important to get travel insurance so you know you can be safe while you travel.
Travel insurance ensures that if you need to see a doctor, go to the hospital, or take an ambulance, you don’t have to pay through the nose for it.
Some places like in northern Europe will already be cheap to see a doctor without insurance, sometimes as little as 20 dollars. However, it’s still a better idea to get some before you leave since it usually only comes out to be a few dollars a day. Especially for long trips, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
