For international travel, the two main types of insurance you may need are travel medical insurance and trip insurance.

Travel medical insurance covers emergency healthcare expenses abroad, while trip insurance protects your financial investment in case of cancellations, interruptions, or lost baggage.

Many travelers choose both for complete protection. Consider your destination, health condition, and trip cost when deciding. Here is a guide that can help you decide how to find the best travel insurance policy for you.
