comprehensive travel insurance

Many travel agencies, cruise lines, and tour companies sell travel insurance directly, but it's not really the best way to buy it. While prices are sometimes better, the coverage is likely to carry more exclusions. Buying insurance through a cruise line or tour company also means you probably won't be able to collect if they go under. In general, it's best to buy travel insurance directly
from an insurance company.

1st comprehensive travel insurance policies, which include travel medical coverage,
medical evacuation, and trip-cancellation or interruption insurance, cost between 5 and 7 percent of the price of your trip. Prices are based on your age and the cost of your trip — where you're traveling generally doesn't factor into the price — as well as the amount of medical coverage and baggage-replacement insurance you buy.
