Travel insurance is one of the most searched from all the insurance policies available, one that is especially created in order to cover a range of financial and medical expenses, as well as other unavoidable losses that occur sometimes while traveling, be it on a local level, within one’s own country, or internationally.
Regarding its elaboration, you should know that travel insurance is one of the most “comfortable” insurances from this point of view, meaning that this particular type of insurance can usually be arranged when you book a trip and has as the specific purpose of covering all the risks that may arise within the duration of the trip. Or if you are a more “careful” person, you can always choose a continuous insurance that can easily be purchased from (in most cases) travel agents, travel insurance companies, or you can get it directly from different travel suppliers, such as cruiselines or tour operators.
Regardless of the way of purchasing it, you should definitely not leave in a trip without having some kind of travel insurance, because this specific type of insurance offers in many cases a coverage that is as complete as it is worthy of any cost and that certainly has the ability of satisfying the tastes of different tourists. Travel insurance policies have diversified at the demand of potential insured clients complaining of the lack of diverse policies, suitable to varied needs and financial possibilities. Now we can choose between adventure travel, business travel, student travel, leisure travel, cruise travel, and international travel – all these options having the possibility to be included within regular travel insurance.
The risks that are most encountered in the coverage provided by a travel insurance are:
• Accidental injury, death or disablement benefit
• Cancellation
• Curtailment
• Delayed baggage (and emergency replacement of essential items) etc.
If you have solved the insurance problem it means you have already chosen from the range of travel destinations choices the one that best suits your personal preferences. Your dream vacation should definitely include the top holiday destinations of 2007, even though the prices may be a little bit spicy. The votes have already been counted.

I think that you will find a great deal on Moneysupermarket.com thats where I got my travel insurance, and they actually had to pay out on my policy as I ended up in a French hospital.
My insurance was about 40pounds, and it was for annual insurance! I think from memory you could go away for up to 94 days at a time, or 17days at a time if you included winter sports.
Hope this helps – just remember to read the small print about how many consecutive days away from the UK you are covered for! Happy Travels!

You can get a refund if your insurance covers illness as a reason for cancellation. Different policies cover different contingencies. The way you would prove illness is by a note from your physician.
InsureMyTrip.com is one site that has comparisons among policies. I'm sure there are others.

It could very well be true. Although they are different countries to where you are, we are in the UK and when we book to go to Ireland the company we book with insists on having our insurance details. Besides, as the first answerer says…they would be daft to travel without it as the cost of treatment is far more than the cost of the insurance. Accidents do happen…believe me, I broke an elbow last year, and a few weeks after that was healed I broke my foot…if I had been abroad I would have been in sh*t street without insurance!

There are some good travel insurance companies. Get ones that pay your expenses or pay you in cash. Dont get ones that make you take another trip or give you a voucher to travel again with them.
I only buy insurance if the trip is WAY more than I can afford to lose.
Read the fine print of the policies before you purchase.

Here are some links-
I had a similar situation- I was living in the Caymans Islands, no longer a Canadian resident, and wanted to travel for the summer. But every policy required that Canadian citizens be insured in their home privince, which I no longer have as non-resident. IMG was the only one I found, but as you DO have Canadian insurance, this will be easy for you. There are lots of short-term plans.
