Travel Protection?
10 Jun 2010 NewHere asked
I'm also confused because Contiki implies that for tours in certain countries, travel protection is required. Does this apply to Western Europe? The total cost of the tour and tickets will be around $3100. About to book a "last minute deal" so I'd really appreciate any advice. I depart from the US and will be flying in and out of London. Thanks!

Hey NewHere,
In regards of travel insurance Contiki or not. Its very important to have insurance when going overseas. You will NEVER know what might happen. If you cant afford travel insurance you cant afford your vacation.- 0 people like this

Check your credit card, you may already have travel protection, trip cancellation insurance, medical coverage.

Last year for my 2 week trip I paid $250 Canadian for travel insurance through my travel agent – yuck! So expensive.
This year I checked out other resources and ended up getting the same covered, for 5 weeks, for only $100 through my bank.
Check your credit card as some credit cards, especially the travel themed ones, have insurance.- 0 people like this

I’m from the US and have a AAA membership. I get my travel insurance from them. Its cheaper than Contiki’s, comprehensive, and Contiki is even one of their partners, so I don’t have any worries.
