Travel Insurance
 
We're going to France & England using Frequent Flier Miles and most of our hotel and car rental reservations can be cancelled with short notice. I'd still like to get travel insurance to cover medical evacuation, lost luggage, trip interruption, etc. Since our commited costs are very minimal, any recommendations on insurance?
Thanks

Take a look at this website. Because I had many upfront, non-refundable costs on a recent trip, I bought a policy from TravelGuard through the site below; call them and ask your questions. But first check your credit card company insurance options:

I've used Travel Guard for nearly a decade if not that and once had to file a hotel claim and got my money back. Happy Travels!

Correction..."if not more". Happy Travels!

Just be sure to read the fine print. For most companies "medical evacuation" means transport to the nearest medical facility, not a flight home.

try sta insurance as well as travel guard both are good sta is quite a bit cheaper but does not have all the coverages travel guard does its apples and oranges pick and choose.
