When's the Best Time to Buy Travel Insurance?

You know when you're booking a flight or a travel package and that little checkbox appears? Add flight insurance now, it might say, or Don't forget about travel protection!

Relax. You don't have to buy travel insurance in the middle of the booking process. You can do it, if you understand exactly what you're buying and you're insuring something simple, like a flight or a weekend getaway. But if you're planning a big trip, it's okay to wait until you've nailed down all the details. We'll help you figure out when to buy travel insurance for your next trip.
