One of the worst things that can happen to a person on vacation is to suffer an injury or illness for which they are not insured. While there are some companies that offer travel insurance that covers airline flights and unavoidable accidents, a few of them also offer travel health insurance to pay for medical emergencies while away from home.

But again, this is something you should ask you individual provider about to see if transportation is, indeed, covered. An international travel health insurance policy is a wonderful and necessary investment for anyone traveling outside the country.
