Why should I buy travel insurance?

Starr Travel Insurance & Assistance offers travelers coverage for unforeseen issues, such as a cancelled or delayed flight, a serious illness, and in rare cases, an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier. If an illness, accident, or other covered unforeseen circumstance forces you to cancel or interrupt your travel plans, you face two potentially major financial losses. First, money invested in nonrefundable prepayments and second, medical expenses that, in many instances, may not be covered by health insurance.
