Travel Insurance 101
Generally, travel insurance policies have a medical cap at $5,000 or $10,000. That’s enough for a family reunion with grandma in Scotland, or the first ski trip with the grandchildren in Lake Tahoe. And, generally, travel insurance policies cover everybody travelling together on a family trip. But read the fine print to be sure.
For a once-in-a-lifetime ‘bucket list’ trip – to see the penguins in Patagonia or hiking the rugged trails of Bhutan – consider a travel insurance policy that includes helicipter evacuation from even the most remote area. MedJet Assist will even fly you home in a special med-evac aircraft. Expensive? If you had to pay for it out-of-pocket, it could cost $15,000, or more. But your entire family is covered for $350 a year. Now that’s green travel — saving green!
Here are other travel insurance companies I recommend –
Compare them by checking Travel Insurance Review, a non-biased industry organization. And be sure to check your homeowner’s policy, even your auto insurance policy for hidden gems of coverage.

Good article here, I really found it very educational. I grew up in Reno and still have many fond memories of the area. I am working on a visit back there this year. I am really looking forward to seeing the historic houses around Reno again. They are so majestic.
