Default Re: Travel Insurance...What is your take?

We have never used it, we are using it for the wedding, but wont probably ever buy it again. Its absolutly worth the money but than again what are the chances of something happening? Seems to me though that you have a lot of coverage allready and might not really need it.

No, I don't think that's dumb. You are also not going in hurricane season. I think it's smart to weigh out the risk, how much you'd have to lose & the cost. Buying insurance isn't always the best choice.

We probably won't get it. But then I think it's smart for my grandma b/c she will be more likely to decide not to go. It would take something big to keep us from going. I'd have to be the sickest I've ever been to not get on the plane. And i'm not so worried about a hurricane in june.

I purchased it for our wedding, b/c I had a trip planned a few years ago and no INS, and my best friends father passed away the morning we were supposed to leave. My ex tried to get a refund and they would only refund for family members deaths, not a BF's father. Ever since then, I decided if the trip was over 1k, I would purchase it. This is my first expensive trip since then, so I can't say that I will stick to it, but for this I thought it was a good idea.

I think we will be getting travel insurance. We have never considered it before but we are spending alot more money than we usually do for a vacation (we are paying for accomodations for our families). Most of our cost is travel and not the wedding itself.

I don't know where to even get travel insurance. Do I just go through the company I have car insurance with? I do have Amex. Maybe I will check with them as well.
