Travel Insurance: The Benefits and Limitations


Not all policies cover medical expenses incurred abroad. Even when they do, you may need to take along special paperwork to be completed by foreign doctors.

Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance covers injuries that result in severe maiming or death. Again, most standard accident, disability or life insurance policies cover these accidents, which rarely happen during travel.

Finally, baggage insurance is usually unnecessary if you already carry homeowner's or renter's insurance. And it usually contains a significant number of exclusions, so the amount of coverage is usually quite limited.
