Read on to learn more about travel insurance, and discover which type of coverage is best for you. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Two Major Types <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel insurance varies depending on the traveler and the insurer, but there are two basic types of coverage. Medical insurance covers the emergency expenses that you may incur while you are away on your trip. If you cannot travel due to unforeseen medical circumstances, medical insurance covers the non-refundable trip costs. If you become sick during your trip and have to return home before your scheduled date, medical insurance covers the bulk of the cost. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flight insurance coverage provides a wide range of assistance for issues that occur before or during travel and at the airport. For example, if your plane is delayed and you miss a connecting flight as a result, flight insurance provides you with a nominal reimbursement. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel Insurance vs. Domestic Insurance <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The health insurance (or other insurance) you have at home or through your employer might provide international protection, but the chances are that it\u2019s limited. Check with your provider to see what coverage you have before your trip. Keep in mind that only travel insurance provides trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage. If you discover that your current health insurance does not offer protection overseas, you can receive the care you need through medical travel insurance. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Benefits of Travel Insurance <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still on the fence about securing travel insurance for your next adventure with AESU?
