Travel policies aren’t just for the wealthy or celebrities. Even the most pedestrian of travels should be insured, because of the inherent and growing set of risks facing traveling folks these days. You need only look as far as the news media to read of volcanic ash that’s ruined flight schedules (and consequently plans and personal schedules) all around the world, quite literally and directly, to see how important travel insurance is to any trip these days. Travel policies aren’t a cure all, by any means; they won’t sweep you away, out of busy airports, or part the ocean waters for you, in order for you pass through to safety. No, but policies will help ease things along a bit. For instance, you won’t be stuck with just option when an airline’s late or canceled, or if you’ve missed the flight for whatever other reason. You’ll have options if you have insurance.
