Can you afford not to have travel insurance? Too many times the cost of healthcare away from home can run well into the tens of thousands of dollars. For example, specialized surgery can cost as much as US$200,000 and each day in bed costs between US $3,000 and US $5,000. That can be a catastrophic bill for anyone to manage.

Worries over the risk of healthcare bills when you should be enjoying a vacation can be drastically eased by a small investment in travel insurance. Use this rule of thumb for the cost of a week of coverage (of course costs will vary depending on coverage and your personal situation):

  • Single and young:            $25
  • A senior (Under 80):        $60-$150
  • A family:                               $100

Not much, is it?
