I always get travel insurance on the off chance that someone gets sick prior to the trip and we need to cancel short term. Several years ago I took my daughters to Mexico on vacation and they both got sick. I booked the trip through AAA with the insurance. We ended up leaving 3 days early. AAA sent me papers to fill out to get reimburst for the days I had paid for (it was an all-inclusive resort). The problem...I did not take my daughters to a dr. in Mexico, who had to fill out the forms for proof that they were indeed ill. Not only did I not get reimburst for that, the flights I booked to return home early cost more than the entire vacation package. So the "great" deal I got, was not a great deal in the end!!  To the best of my knowledge, travel insurance had nothing to do with helping with emergency flights home. However, I still get the insurance. Perhaps if I had been in the U.S., I could have taken them to a dr. and faxed the paperwork for reimbursment.

I think this will free you from all the worries,plus this will secure you.

Now with most airfares being non refundable, It has been a benefit to me to know that there is security.  My house received water damage the day before an international flight and I had to cancel. I was able to get new tickets for my spouse and I immediately

Is that domestic or what? I never get travel insurance for domestic travel. My household contents insurance covers lost or stolen stuff, and my health insurance covers health problems.

When you get injured, the travel insurance covers your costs. Note, some countries in Europe require that their citizens and visitors must have health insurance. They have mandatory health insurace. So, when you go to Europe, forget not getting the so called Schengen visa insurance.

One unusual benefit I found was the opportunity to have a friend of relative flown to you, this was LV's travel Insurance . I guess this could certainly come in useful if you became ill and wanted company from someone you know.

Another benefit cited by Direct Line is the 24 hour phone support.

The primary benefit of travel insurance is the knowledge that should something go wrong while you are abroad, you won't be responsible for finding the money to put it right, at a time when you are already stressed out.
