What to review when comparing travel insurance for an international trip.
Guide
Travel insurance policies can differ widely. Review medical coverage, trip cancellation, baggage coverage, exclusions, deductibles and claim procedures.
Check whether the policy covers the activities and destinations in your itinerary. Some activities, pre-existing circumstances or high-value items can have special conditions.
Keep the policy number and emergency assistance contact details accessible during the trip. Insurance decisions should be based on the policy wording rather than a headline benefit.
