According to the United States Travel Insurance Association, only about one-third of all travelers buy travel insurance. However, there are actually plenty of reasons to consider investing in some travel insurance before you take a trip. Following are three situations that could certainly be helped with travel insurance:

1. You’ve bought nonrefundable tickets or have paid nonrefundable deposits

Some trips will require you to pay deposits well ahead of time, and in many cases, those deposits will be nonrefundable. Did you know that travel insurance can help you to regain those deposits if you’re unable to go on your trip for certain reasons covered in your policy? Likewise, many tickets are nonrefundable, and without travel insurance, you’ll have to swallow the cost if you’re not able to make your trip.

2. Your luggage has been lost

It’s a terrible feeling, and it happens all too often: luggage simply gets lost. However, if you’re covered with travel insurance, then you can at least get some help in replacing those items that you absolutely need when your luggage has been delayed for a specific amount of time. Furthermore, if some items are actually lost, then insurance can reimburse you for those lost items.

3. Your health insurance might not cover you overseas

Unfortunately, it’s true: not all health insurance policies will cover you if you become ill or injured while abroad. If you are covered, then you might be asked to pay for your medical bills in advance, which will mean that you could be paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars out of pocket before you’re able to get reimbursed by your insurance company. Additionally, you could have to deal with high co-pays and deductibles since you’re outside the network. Be sure that you understand how your health insurance policy works overseas, and if the coverage isn’t good, consider getting some online insurance quotes.

These are just three situations that could be much less painful if you are covered with travel insurance. What other reasons can you think of to look into getting travel insurance?
