Insurance

Travel insurance is essential but policies vary widely.

Before you go: checklist

  1. Compare medical, trip cancellation, and baggage coverage limits
  2. Read the fine print on pre-existing medical exclusions
  3. Check if your credit card already covers rental cars
  4. Buy within 14-21 days of your first booking for full Cancel-for-Any-Reason

Why this helps

Small preparation steps before a trip may reduce avoidable stress and make travel days feel smoother.
