Last week, we explored the role of insurance in protecting your assets. This week, we’re zooming in on a type of insurance that often flies under the radar: travel insurance. Whether you're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, cruising to Antarctica, or simply flying cross-country, travel insurance can make or break your trip financially if something goes wrong.

In this episode, I share:

• When travel insurance is actually worth buying
• The difference between credit card travel protection and comprehensive travel insurance
• Why I canceled my Chase Sapphire Preferred after a frustrating insurance claim
• How to evaluate the real value of travel coverage, especially when traveling internationally
• The pros and cons of single-trip vs. annual travel insurance
• Which companies are most reputable and what to look for in a policy

From missed connections to emergency evacuations, I’ll help you decide when it makes sense to get coverage — and how to avoid wasting money on insurance that won’t pay when you need it most.

Key Takeaways

• Credit card travel insurance can be helpful for minor issues, but often lacks the customer support or reimbursement success for larger claims.
• Comprehensive travel insurance offers coverage for emergencies, medical care, and trip cancellations — crucial for expensive or adventurous trips.
• Consider annual plans if you travel frequently.
• Always read the fine print and check what’s truly covered before buying.
