Our personal experience when traveling is that having travel insurance in place gives us piece of mind that should something happen like a sudden illness or injury that we have in place a plan to get us the necessary care and transportation if needed.

   It is very important that you determine your own need, select the travel insurance that meets your need and review the terms and conditions of the policy to ensure that it provides the coverage you require.
