Can I buy travel insurance (primarily medical) at the airport?

bookworm55 asked:


I didn’t get a chance to buy travel insurance from my travel agent. Can I buy it at the airport? Is it usually overpriced there? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

   You can buy it on the Internet, I would recommend International medical group.

   This coverage is good for US citizens traveling abroad as well as for foreign nationals traveling to the US.

   I suggest checking out their website then call the 800 number and have a rep walk you through your options.

   Consumer Reports states:

   Flight insurance. Specialty travel-insurance companies sell life-insurance policies that pay a benefit if you die (or are dismembered) in a plane crash. Depending on the amount of insurance you buy, you pay $15 to $60 per flight. Instead: Skip it. Term life will cover you if you die in a plane crash, and health insurance should cover medical expenses.
