Why do I Need Travel Insurance?
Have you ever heard the saying....if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel (refer to: Smart Traveller). A number of the governmental advisory travel boards reiterate this statement and many travellers ignore it. However, seeing you are already looking for travel insurance we don't need to tell you how important it is! Many travellers, especially those on a tight budget, believe that holiday insurance is a luxury not a necessity, and forget it in favour of saving their precious travel dollars for their adventures. However the reality is, should something happen to you or your belongings while travelling, travel insurance will be worth it many times over.
As a starting point you should have medical cover, particularly that which will provide you with 24 hour around the clock assistance if and when you need it. Medical cover is important as medical costs and charges can escalate out of control in a very short space of time. The last thing you want to be doing if you are sick or injured is thinking of a way to repay huge medical bills.
It is also important that you get personal liability cover. This covers you should you cause damage or bodily injury to somebody's property or person. Legal expenses cover is also highly important. We would also suggest baggage cover as no doubt your entire life is contained in that one backpack as you travel the world.
