Not sure if there have been a general discussion on this before or not, so I thought I'd get one going. Figured that this is something that everyone can benefit from. This doesn't necessarily have to be for a trip to Mexico, can be for domestic travel, cruise, etc.
I never really thought about insurance before the last couple of years, but given the cost involved with travel now, getting older and having some medical things pop up (again, getting older lol), it's something to consider.
I've gotten insurance through Delta when I booked a trip with them before to Vegas.
Have also gotten the insurance via Vidanta (not theirs, but they offer it, MAPFRE Assistance) when I booked last year. It covers up to 7 or 9 people. Actually had to use it (tried to at least), one of our party needed to see the resort Doctor, but I didn't read the super fine print where it had to be filed within 48 hrs (my fault).
The price for both of the above were about the same, but the Mexican one does cover a large group.
I've seen ads for AIG's Travel Guard, which has three price levels, seems pretty reasonable.
So, for anyone that gets travel insurance, do you have a preferred one?
