(NAPSI)—There are good reasons to include travel insurance in your vacation budget.
1. If your tip gets canceled or cut short: After you’ve invested a great deal of time and money into planning a family trip, the last thing that you want to experience is a cancellation, loss of nonrefundable costs, and unplanned medical expenses while away. While some personal health insurance may cover portions of medical expenses when you’re on vacation, not all do, and often, medical insurance does not travel overseas.
