Travel insurance is a necessity when you travel, as irritating a step as it might seem. Many times you can purchase a plan right through the tour company you choose to travel with, at the time of booking.
This is a very convenient, usually budget friendly option if you are looking for a quick easy way to ensure your covered during the time you'll be traveling.
If you're a frequent traveler however, on tours as well as independently, this option is probably not the best, since the policies are typically very basic, and expire quickly as they are intended to cover you for a specific trip.
There are hundreds of companies you can choose from, offering thousands of policiy options and coverage types. See all the options available and choose the best for you.
