High blood pressure is one of the most common conditions travelers manage, and one of the most misunderstood when it comes to insurance. The reassuring news is that travel insurance for high blood pressure is widely available, and a well-controlled reading on your latest medical records will almost never stop you from getting covered. The…
A single plane ticket can put you in three time zones in a week, but most standard travel insurance policies still assume you are going to one place and coming home. Multi destination travel insurance fixes that gap. It covers trips where you move through two, three, or ten countries under a single policy, instead…
Losing a bag at the start of a two-week trip is one of the fastest ways to burn hundreds of dollars you never planned to spend. According to SITA’s annual baggage report, airlines mishandle roughly 6 to 7 bags per 1,000 passengers in a typical year — and that number spikes hard during summer and…

Travel insurance with sports coverage is the difference between a twisted knee at a ski resort costing you $80 or $8,000. Most travelers assume their standard policy has them covered the moment they clip into skis, rent a mountain bike, or strap on a dive tank. It usually does not. Standard travel insurance policies exclude…
International health insurance for expats is not a nice-to-have add-on. If you are moving abroad for more than a short trip, your home-country policy will almost certainly stop covering you, and your new country’s public system may not cover you either. The wrong call here can mean a six-figure hospital bill, or worse, a clinic…
