Sound familiar? It probably does because at some point in our lives, we know someone who has uttered this phrase, or we ourselves have dismissed the need to purchase travel insurance.
Don’t just click “buy” on the cheapest policy you come across – this may be a bare-bones cover that only indemnifies you against losses on baggage and travel cancellation, with no medical coverage. That’s not all. You should also ensure that emergency evacuation and repatriation are also included in your travel insurance. These are all expenses that could potentially bankrupt you if you don’t get insured .…so that you know what you’re covered for. Even so, do you know for sure what you’re not protected against? Don’t wait until the point of claim submission to get the shock of your life.
