Do you purchase travel insurance?

Asked by gondwanalon (22885points) January 13th, 2016

My wife and I are planning a 2 week trip from Washington, USA to Brisbane, Australia in May 2016. Travel agent wrote: “WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PURCHASE THIS
INSURANCE” (Travelex or Travelguard Insurance). However there are many other travel insurance companies. I’ve gotten quotes ranging from $116 (April Travel Insurance) to $380 (Travelex). Of course they offer various different plans. Some plans even include medical coverage. That could come in handy for an elderly couple like us.

Is the cost of travel insurance worth it?

What travel insurance company do you use?

Did you ever have to use the travel insurance? If so then how did that work out for you?
