Travel Insurance

Today i have been out and about shopping for travel insurance. On Wednesday i am going over to Brisbane in Australia for a few days. I have also checked the internet for travel insurance deals. I was pretty surprised to how drastically the policies varied and all looked more or less similar once the small print was read. I eventually settled for a policy by The Warehouse which has only a $70 excess. All in all i came up with a generalisation:

Banks Travel Insurance=Most expensive.
Shops/Dept Store Insurance=Not so expensive.
Internet Travel Insurance=Least expensive.

I guess the wisdom of the day is 'It pays to shop around'

I'm learning that travel insurance is becoming more and more a necessity.

Travel insurance is one of those things most of us don't think about, including me. I should look into more closely when traveling, esp. overseas. Thanks for the tip :)

I'm such a naive American rube...I would never even have thought about travel insurance.

Have a great trip to Brisbane!

Least expensive usually also means fewest features, so be sure to read the fine print.
