Buying Travel Insurance


Josette: I admit it. I?m a nervous traveler and I don?t like traveling internationally. 


Tae-jin: You could get travel insurance. Doing that would make you feel more secure, wouldn?t it? 


Josette: Maybe. What types of coverage 1 are available? 


Tae-jin: You could get insurance to cover mishaps 2 on the trip, such as cancelled flights or missed connections and having your luggage lost, stolen, or damaged. It?ll even cover your losses if your trip is cancelled. 


Josette: I guess that would help, but I?m more nervous about something happening to me while I?m in another country. 


Tae-jin: In that case, you can get medical insurance to cover the costs of medical emergencies, even if you have to be medically evacuated 3 in the event of serious injuries or illness. 


Josette: Oh, you?re right. I could get really sick or injured. 


Tae-jin: And if things go terribly wrong, there?s even insurance for if you become disabled or if there?s an accidental death. They?ll pay for repatriation 4 of your remains 5 or overseas funeral services. 


Josette: Disabilities and death? Is that supposed to put my mind at ease? 


Tae-jin: The whole point is to make you less worried about bad things happening while you travel. 


Josette: Right, and right now the only insurance that seems to be foolproof is staying put!
