Be prepared for illness

[ohliz]

I always buy Travelex insurance because it offers medical evacuation as well as care while there and it is primary. My daughter had appendicitis symptoms when we were on a trip to Alaska several years ago and Travlelex covered everything directly with no out of pocket to me, which was amazing. She didn't have appendicitis, as it turned out, but they still covered the initial doctor visit and the surgical consultation that doc referred her to.

They also sell a $49 "Transportation Pak" add-on that covers rental car collision insurance (CDW) IN JAMAICA which most credit cards do not cover.

I have Travelex again for our upcoming trip. They offer 3 plans with different amounts for medical evacuation, medical care, cancellation, baggage loss, etc. Ours was like $115 for all 3 of us.
