Travel Insurance: What It Is and Why You...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Travel is back and millions are ready to get out there and start experiencing it all again. However, there’s a new reality. What happens if you get sick or injured while you’re away? You might think that you just pick up your insurance card and all will be taken care of. Not so fast. Did you know that getting sick or hurt on a vacation can lead to some pretty wicked consequences like a huge bill that could drain your bank account? That’s where travel insurance comes in. I absolutely love to travel, but honestly, it wasn’t until the 2020 pandemic shut down the world that I really realized that travel insurance is totally worth it. And the best part, as our guest Omar Kaywan from Goose Insurance says, travel insurance is only about 10% of your travel cost. So if your trip cost $2000, travel insurance would only cost around $200 max. Omar shares:

  • What is travel insurance and why you need it
  • Exactly what to do if you get sick or injured on a vacation
  • What to look for in a travel insurance policy
  • How to figure out what it doesn’t cover
  • Why you might need travel insurance even if you’re traveling in the US.


Get your bags packed, but first listen to this important episode that might literally save you millions.
