Travel Insurance

What is Travel Insurance?
Have you ever taken a cruise or planned a trip through a travel agency? If so, you may have seen offers for travel insurance, which covers unexpected expenses resulting from the cancellation or interruption of your scheduled trip. You may be able to buy travel insurance directly from your travel company (travel agent, tour operator, cruise line operator, property management company, etc.), or you can obtain quotes directly from travel insurance companies.
Travel insurance policies have very specific limitations and exclusions. If you are thinking about buying travel insurance, pay special attention to the fine print. There are a number of different travel insurance options available to cover many types of occurrences or losses associated with traveling. Read the coverage materials carefully and ask questions as needed, so that you understand the benefits being offered.
If you have questions, the Consumer Services Division of the Department of Insurance is here to help.
