So the number one reason people don't add insurance to their vacation bookings is that they are sure they are going.They are not going to cancel.The second reason is that they don't even think about it. It's not even a thought. Well, have you ever thought about what if I get injured on vacation? What if I have a delay?What if my baggage is lost? What if I get sick on vacation? What if I need assistance at 3 in the morning? People have needed to go to the hospital. People have passed away on vacation, unfortunately. What do you do if you have to go to the hospital on vacation and you don't have insurance and your home Insurance, does cover international, and they are asking for 5k, 10k to treat you? (It's happened) Have you ever thought about that about that? What if you need emergency evacuation out of a destination for whatever reason? What if something happens while you're on your way to your destination or on your way back? Travel insurance policies address all of these situations and many more situations depending on the type of Insurance and the plan that you pick. This is why I stress having travel protection on any vacation, especially international. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk #aptravelservices

Is your credit card's travel insurance enough, or should you buy a separate policy? It depends on your needs and risk tolerance. I travel full-time, so I have both. Many premium travel cards offer robust protections like trip cancellation, baggage delay, and rental car coverage—often sufficient for basic trips, especially within the U.S., where your medical coverage is probably valid (if you live/work in the U.S.). However, credit card travel protections may fall short for pricier journeys or specific needs like medical coverage abroad. (This is where SafetyWing comes in for me!) Pro Tip: Check your card's exact benefits and coverage limits. Consider supplementing with a standalone policy to fill any gaps or finding a credit card with more robust built-in coverage. Want to make the right choice for your next adventure? Read Raina He's full breakdown for Forbes Advisor to learn when credit card insurance is enough and when to purchase additional coverage.

❗Top tip You’ve booked that long overdue summer holiday and are now on the home straight. Have you bought your travel insurance? Not the most glamorous of subjects, but certainly a necessity. A good insurance policy, will cover everything from medical emergencies, to lost luggage. It’s essential to purchase your policy when you book your holiday, not the day before you leave. This will ensure that should you need to cancel (and the reason is covered by the policy) you won’t lose out. Things to think about before you purchase. - Check out any excess that may be payable, should you need to claim. - Make sure that the policy covers you for the area you are travelling to. For example a worldwide policy does not necessarily cover you for the USA. Yes, you may have it included with your bank account, but do you have pre-existing conditions that need declaring? It’s essential to inform your insurer to ensure that you are adequately covered and your policy remains valid. Happy travels ✈️
