Why You Shouldn’t Skip Travel Insurance for Your Next Vacation
You’ve booked your flights, picked the perfect hotel, and planned out every detail of your dream vacation. But there’s one important step many travelers overlook: travel insurance. While it may feel like an optional add-on, travel insurance can be the difference between a small hiccup and a costly disaster. That’s why AAA strongly recommends protecting your trip with the right coverage.
Travel Plans Don’t Always Go As Planned
We like to think vacations will go smoothly, but life happens. Flights get canceled, luggage gets lost, illnesses pop up, and unexpected emergencies can send your plans off track. Travel insurance provides peace of mind by helping you recover costs and get back on your way.
What Travel Insurance Can Cover
AAA partners with trusted providers to offer coverage designed for real-world scenarios, including:
- Trip Cancellation or Interruption – Reimbursements if you need to cancel or cut a trip short due to illness, family emergencies, or severe weather.
- Medical Emergencies Abroad – Coverage for hospital visits or emergency care in countries where your health insurance may not apply.
- Baggage Protection – Reimbursement if your luggage is lost, stolen, or delayed.
- Travel Delays – Compensation for meals and accommodations when unexpected delays occur.
- 24/7 Assistance Services – Access to help with rebooking flights, finding medical care, or replacing lost documents while traveling.
Why It Matters More Than Ever
Travel has become more complex in recent years, with unpredictable weather, evolving airline policies, and global health concerns. Travel insurance gives you the security of knowing you won’t be left stranded—or paying out of pocket—if plans change.
For big trips like cruises, international vacations, or family getaways, insurance isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
