It is very important to be properly insured when traveling abroad. This is especially crucial if you plan to travel outside of Europe, go on a longer trip, or participate in activities involving special risks, such as skydiving, rock climbing, or diving.
If you are going on a short family trip, you should have good travel insurance through Family Protection 2 or 3, if you have that coverage. Many people also already have travel insurance through their credit card.
We therefore recommend that you review this carefully before booking your trip.
