Below, we take a look at some of the most popular travel insurance options for 2017.

Baggage/Personal Item Loss and Delay

Whether you’re traveling with designer clothing, expensive camera equipment or memorable gifts, having baggage and personal item loss insurance can cover lost, stolen or damaged personal items. However, it’s important to remember that this type of insurance is often included in travel insurance policies or by your airline, so do some research before you purchase additional coverage.

Trip Cancellation

Trip cancellation insurance can reimburse you for flights, hotels and more should you need to cancel your trip altogether. However, it’s important to read the details of your trip cancellation policy because there are some reasons trip cancellation will not cover you. Regardless, it’s better to pay a little extra to be safe rather than sorry.
