Should I buy travel insurance?
Wondering asked:
I am going to spend next summer (2 1/2 months) in Europe to study at a university and do a little bit of travelling. I am planning on taking my laptop, digital camera, and other miscellaneous (but valuable, at least to me, items). Should I get travel insurance? I am scared of my electronics being damaged, or even moreso, stolen. How should I go about getting travel insurance? Thank you very much for your advice.

yes…travel insurance is a definate, i know nothing may happen but if something was stolen it would be well worth it and getting your things back would be alot easier.
you can get travel insurance through post offices, travel agents and some banks also offer travel insurance on certain accounts, it is worth following up.

i reccomend getting travel insurance!
last year me and a group of friends went away and unfortunatley a friends belongings got stolen, and eventually the insurance replaced the money equivelent. travel insurance also covers injury to your self. used confused.com to find the cheapest quote. hope that helps

Absolutely yes. I found Norwich Union a good all rounder. Make sure you have hospital, suitcase, flight cancellations and personal belongings on your policy.
It does not pay trying to get the cheapest as if anything goes wrong it’s difficult to get help abroad if you experience problems.
