Is travel insurance warranted? It may be offered to you as you book a vacation, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need it. Your life, auto, or health insurance may provide adequate coverage as you travel. Be sure to double-check, so you don’t overpay.

When traveling, consider shopping online and having certain items shipped to your destination rather than bringing them in your luggage. This can minimize the chances of important or delicate items getting lost or damaged by airline baggage handlers.
