Travel Insurance for International Trips
According to InsureMyTrip, 87% of customers choose a Comprehensive Travel Insurance Policy for trips abroad. This policy provides a variety of benefits including medical coverage, emergency travel services, baggage protection, trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage.
Emergency medical coverage is especially important for international trips because most domestic health insurance plans do not cover medical bills outside of the country.
