Purpose of travel insurance?

Answer:
Travel insurance is purchased as a supplement to existing insurance and covers whatever may happen on your trip. This includes delays, emergency medical care (that most likely isn't covered by your own insurance if you are traveling outside of the U.S.), medication, or cancelled flights. It is my personal opinion (as I have had to use it before) that purchasing travel insurance for a trip is a necessity--just in case!
