Why do You Need a Travel Insurance
There are a lot of reasons why you need a travel insurance when you are travelling or staying abroad.

In general, the chances of accidents, falling sick, theft, disaster, loss of luggage or that you accidentally damage other persons belongings during your trip or stay in a foreign country are bigger than when you stay at home.

If an accident or medical problem occurs in a foreign country chances are that you need help. The costs of treatment and stay in a foreign hospital, an emergency rescue operation or repatriation home can be extremely high. Average people are usually not able to pay for such costs. You should also realise that medical facilities in some countries are not always of the same standard as in your own country.
