Everyone should know that travel insurance is a must when on holiday or vacation. hospital emergencies can cost up to $100,000 or more if an evacuation is required. Cancellations to plan, cruise or tour tickers can also be very expensive and often there is nothing you can do it avoid it. Even loss of baggage can be costly now that more people travel with notebooks and smart phones.
Sometimes you may not want to pay the cost of travel insurance. For long trips it may actually cost more for insurance than it does for plane fare. This is especially true of backpacking holidays through places like Asia or Europe. Also backpackers may not have expensive holiday packages or baggage to be concerned about. The normal comprehensive level of holiday insurance is often a waste for these people.
Many holiday insurance providers offer plans designed for the budget traveller and backpackers. These plans tend to cover general medical expenses such as hospital visits, doctor and surgical fees, dental costs, and medical evacuation. Sometimes these will also offer minimal cover in other areas such as luggage, credit card and document replacement. It is up to you to decide if you want this as it will raise the premium.
