Travel Insurance is very expensive - several hundred dollars. I think an ISIC is a Student Identitiy Card and you should definitely have one of those and get discounted fares/

When traveling to a different country is it wise to get travelers insurance?

A lot of travel sites offer an insurance package for a fairly reasonable rate. They say it covers the cost of lost or damage materials and you're also covered for medical expenses if you get sick or hurt. Is it worth getting travelers insurance or is

It depends where you are travelling to, but I would recommend some sort of insurance cover, check on-line to see if you can get anything cheaper.

It's Too Late to Buy Travel Insurance for Passengers Stranded by the Direct ...

18.05.12

St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) March 19, 2012

Last week Direct Air passengers were left stranded at the height of Spring Break travel as the South Carolina-based airline suspended all flights. While future Direct Air passengers may have the urge to purchase travel insurance, online travel insurance comparison site, Squaremouth.com, warns it’s too late. Even for passengers whose travel plans aren’t until next month, once an airline announces it’s halting services, new travel insurance policies will not cover the flight cancellations.

According to the Associated Press, the cause of the suspension is a result of unpaid fuel bills. Direct Air has stated on its website that the airline is not assisting customers with alternate travel arrangements. They have advised customers to contact their credit card company for a refund.

“In today’s turbulent financial times, protection against financial default is a wise choice,” says iTravelInsured’s Executive Vice President Bill Dismore. “There have been countless tales of tour operators suddenly going out of business, cruise ships docking and leaving passengers stranded because of financial default and airlines ceasing operations for lack of funding.”
