A lot of people travel abroad without any travel insurance every year with the mistake of thinking that they are covered by their credit cards. Most credit cards today only offer travel accident insurance while there are a few who also offer but with additional charge. Travel accident insurance actually refers to a very partial personal accident insurance policy which will only pay you if you die as a result of an accident during travel that the card paid for. It is important for cardholders to read the small print so you won’t be confused of travel accident insurance and the real comprehensive travel insurance. A real comprehensive travel insurance policy should be covering you for medical expenses, repatriation cover and cancellation policies.
