Consider travel insurance this summer

Travel insurance safeguards your investment in a costly trip by covering unexpected events that could disrupt your plans.  It can reimburse pre-paid, non-refundable expenses for unforeseen circumstances.  Consider purchasing a policy if there is a chance the trip could be impacted by severe weather, a loved one has a pre-existing health condition, or non-refundable expenses have already been incurred.  Before purchasing a policy, understand the different coverage options, exclusions, and limitations, as policies vary significantly.  Check current insurance policies and credit card protections for coverage already provided.
