[QUOTE="jirit, post: 158089, member: 10406"] A number of credit cards do offer travel medical coverage but many only offer it for a limited number of days. Best to check and download the latest policy information and documentation to confirm the coverage, and restrictions. It is also good to check if your credit card offers by default, trip cancellation coverage. Save yourself some money and no not buy additional trip cancelation coverage if your credit card offers this already. You may also find that your home policy offers baggage coverage. Even if you buy this separately as a rider on your home policy you may find this cheaper than buying this as part of comprehensive travel policy. Also before buying a travel medical policy directly from your insurance company, bank or favourite association, check online. Or check with your employer. Some lucky folks especially those that work for the government have very attractive insurance policies that will cover them while traveling. For Canadians I have been using Travel Direct from Canadian Direct Insurance. They offer a very attractive travel medical coverage that is far less expensive than the brand name policies from the likes of Blue Cross and others. For my wife and myself it works out to be approx $1.40 per day per person. They have two ranges of age groups; under 59 and 60 - 89, and you buy the amount of insurance you need to the number of days you are out of country. You can buy the policy online a few days before leaving. [/QUOTE]
