2009-05-15T00:20:47Z 9 Next Week I am Going Overseas, Should I Bother with Travel Insurance? 2009-06-04T01:18:59Z 2009-05-15T00:20:47Z 9 9 <p>Most definitely, travel insurance provides protection at a price that is worth what I consider much more. The variables that are outside the control of even the most carefully planned vacation are numerous. The average overseas holiday relies on airlines, health, employment, baggage handlers, family, friends and hotel reservations to name a few.</p><p>If the trip is not expensive or in a local vicinity then travel insurance is most likely not required, but for the more expensive domestic locations and international travel requiring money, time, and planning saving a few dollars on insurance is not worth the regret or risk.</p><p>Being in a foreign country can also be completely unfamiliar for a tourist and the local surroundings and trapdoors that can snare tourists unacquainted to it, can prove costly. Insurance provides most importantly, peace of mind and this will make the trip more enjoyable.</p> 2009-06-04T01:20:26Z
