The One Travel Mistake That Could Cost You Thousands
I used to be the kind of traveler who skipped travel insurance. I figured, “What’s the worst that could happen?”—until I became a travel advisor and saw firsthand how one unexpected mishap can turn a dream trip into a financial disaster.
Lost luggage, medical emergencies, canceled flights—it happens more often than you think. And without the right coverage, you could be stuck paying thousands out-of-pocket. That’s why travel insurance isn’t just an extra—it’s a necessity.
Let’s break down why you need it, how credit card coverage may not be enough, and how to get the best protection before your next trip.
Why Travel Insurance Is Essential
Even the best-planned trips can go off track. Here’s how travel insurance protects you:
✔️ Trip Cancellations & Delays – If you get sick, have a family emergency, or your airline cancels your flight, travel insurance can help you recover costs.
✔️ Medical Emergencies – Your regular health insurance might not cover international medical care. Without travel insurance, a hospital stay abroad could cost you thousands.
✔️ Lost, Stolen, or Delayed Baggage – Imagine landing in paradise… but your suitcase didn’t. Insurance can reimburse you for essentials or help replace lost items.
✔️ Emergency Evacuations – If you need to be transported due to a medical emergency or natural disaster, travel insurance covers the cost.
✔️ 24/7 Assistance – Need to rebook a missed connection or find medical care abroad? A good policy includes global support to handle the logistics for you.
“But My Credit Card Has Travel Insurance…”
Many travelers assume their credit card’s travel benefits have them covered—but most cards only offer partial protection.
Credit card insurance typically lacks:
❌ Comprehensive Medical Coverage – Most credit cards don’t cover medical emergencies, especially abroad.
❌ Trip Cancellation Reasons – Your card may only reimburse for specific reasons, while travel insurance offers broader protection.
❌ Quick Reimbursements – Credit card claims often take weeks (or longer!). Some travel insurance options provide instant payouts.
❌ Coverage for Natural Disasters & Unforeseen Events – Travel insurance protects against unexpected events, while credit cards frequently don’t.
If your credit card does offer some coverage, travel insurance can fill in the gaps and enhance your protection.
