Before purchasing travel insurance, travelers should take into consideration what they are packing. Electronic, computers, camera, jewelry, cash, and similar valuable items may not be covered by companies providing transportation and some may be excluded from travel insurance policies. Travelers should consider the financial health and stability of the travel supplier and the insurance company they are going to use. The number of airlines currently in financial difficulty, along with the increasing cost of fuel, increases the possibility that travel will be interrupted because of a strike, or even that the provider may stop operation with little or no warning. Be sure to review travel insurance policies for loopholes regarding travel companies already in or just leaving bankruptcy reorganization, if applicable. Of course, transportation companies and hotels are not the only businesses that fail. Before purchasing travel insurance, be sure that the insurance company offering and underwriting the policy is in good financial standing and meets industry standards.
