Travel insurance is something you will need on the road. It is perhaps the MOST important thing. You never know what will happen, and most health insurance plans do not cover you when you travel. Travel insurance doesn't just cover your injuries or illnesses; it also covers the items you bring with you, accidents that may occur, or trips that need to be canceled. It is not just about seeing a doctor on the road—it is about getting your camera replaced for free if you drop it in the ocean (like I did). Here is why I never leave home without travel insurance:
- It covers you when you get sick and need to see a doctor.
- It covers you if you need to be airlifted from a location.
- It covers you if you need to be sent back home.
- It covers your broken or stolen electronics.
- It covers you if you have to cancel your trip.
- It covers you if your belongings are stolen.
- It is affordable and gives peace of mind!
- It is easy to buy (and renew online).
- It is a smart move—because if something goes wrong, it saves you thousands of dollars!
For just a few dollars a day, not having to pay extra money when things go wrong is a smart and frugal move. After all, a good budget traveler is a smart budget traveler. Don't lose sight of the big picture while penny-pinching. A friend of mine once broke his foot and had to pay thousands of dollars because he didn't get insurance. Don't let that happen to you!
BOOK YOUR INSURANCE WITH SAFETYWING!
