There are many reasons for having travel insurance some of the main ones would be:
- Cancellation Fees - Due to unforseen events such as sickness or accidents you may need to cancel your air tickets and hotel bookings, some companys will not refund your money so your insurance policy can cover this for you and you won't loose your money
- Overseas Emergency Medical Assistance - If some emergency was to occur then this could cost you thousands when you are in another country or state even. An example would be a snake bite in a remote location and you need a helicopter to swifly take you to the hospital, this would be very costly without your insurance company
- Hospital Expenses - If you have an accident on your holiday then your holiday might have to come to end, well your travel insurance can cover your hospital bills and acommodation fees so you don't loose as much money
- Injuries occured while traveling - should you incure any severe injuries on your holiday such as a loss of an eye, hand, or foot then you can receive a Permanent Disability Benefit
- Loss of income - should you be unable to work upon returning from your travels then your travel insurance company can pay you a benefit for a period of time
