Our Travel Insurance Advice

When planning their trips, many travelers ask themselves, “Should I buy travel insurance?”, but often don’t know where to start or what coverage to look for.

Travel insurance provides financial protection for unexpected events that affect a traveler’s trip, such as a cancellation caused by an illness, or an injury that occurs during the trip. Most travel insurance policies were built to be comprehensive, with traveler’s main concerns at the top mind. Popular benefits on a policy include coverage for trip expenses, medical emergencies, travel delays, and luggage.

Squaremouth’s Travel Insurance Advice blog answers questions about travel insurance, including general information about how it works and what it covers, answers to travel insurance-related FAQs, and coverage information for the most popular destinations and countries that require travel insurance.
