When considering whether or not to purchase travel insurance, you may want to weigh the costs and benefits. Generally, you are encouraged to purchase travel insurance if you are investing a significant amount of money in the trip, if you are leaving the country, have a complex itinerary, or are on Medicare. On the other hand, if you are traveling domestically for a shorter period of time, not investing as much in the trip, or if aspects of your trip would not be covered, you may not need to invest in travel insurance.
