Italy Travel Insurance News

Shopping for insurance is not exciting but the consequences for neglecting the task could be far-reaching. Without appropriate insurance, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars in medical bills and lack of coverage can even ruin your trip.

However, when searching for insurance, most people make several blunders. Here are some of the most common blunders Canadians make when searching for coverage.

One of the most common blunders is assuming that you are young and invincible. According to a recent CAA-Quebec survey of vacation plans, at least 12% of travelers travel every year without travel insurance. Among those 18-to-24-year-olds, this proportion reaches 24%.

Some other assumptions include thinking that you can do anything since you are covered, believing you don’t need travel insurance elsewhere in Canada, betting everything on credit card, thinking that your children will be covered by your insurance, buying coverage with your eyes closed, leaving for a long time without taking precautions, thinking that a million dollar in liability is a lot and many more.
