International Travel: Money-Saving Tips

When it comes to saving money on your international travels, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:

Instead, find deals online and explore countries on your own, allowing you more control over your budget. Additionally, making friends with locals can lead to insider tips and cost-saving opportunities.
• Timing is Key : Plan your trip one month before or a few weeks after the peak season in your chosen country. This way, you can take advantage of lower prices and save a few bucks.
• Embrace Local Experiences : Opt for local food and explore local transportation options rather than relying on taxis everywhere. This not only allows you to immerse yourself in the culture but also helps you save money on dining and transportation expenses.
• Consider Local SIM Cards : Instead of purchasing other country SIM cards while still in India, look for cheaper options at local shops in your destination. Often, you can find SIM cards with one-week validity at reasonable prices. Alternatively, activating international roaming can result in higher costs.
• Avoid Airport Currency Exchange : Steer clear of exchanging currency at airports, as the conversion rates are typically less favorable. For better rates, consider exchanging currency at a bank before your trip or upon arrival.

CAMBODIA – One of the Aesthetic and Cheapest Countries to Travel for Indians!

No other Asian country has offered me as low prices as Cambodia has especially in terms of flights. It took me just 5500 INR for one side travelling from Bangalore to Phenom Penn, Cambodia.

MALDIVES – Island Nation Offering Budget Trips for Indian Wnderlust Lovers!

Indian travellers are quite fascinated by Maldives. However, they almost always end up spending more money. Resort to backpacking and reduce your travel costs in this beautiful island country.

Located at a distance of 15,000+ Kms from India, the Central American country of Nicaragua is not very popular among Indian travellers as of now. However, you should put it on your bucket list because it’s worth a visit.

LEBANON – Save on Flights & Travel from India Light!

Lebanon is one country where somehow the flights from India are cheap but the country is a tad bit expensive otherwise. However, the good thing is that 1 INR = 21 Lebanese Pounds and so you still get to travel cheap.

A 6 day trip to Lebanon will amount to about 58,000 INR from India. The way you get this cost down is if you choose to bunk in hostels, eat at low tax dining places and walk more than use cabs.

ETHIOPIA – African Magical Country Waiting to be Tripped!

Ethiopia was the first African nation I visited. This was a few years back. Now, Ethiopia has been trying to welcome tourists by offering better facilities and hence recently they have started imposing tourist tax on certain things.

One of the least heard countries in the world is Sao Tome and Principe. However, people who manage to visit here surely have fond memories. I surely do. It didn’t have a lot of backpacking hostels or Airbnbs before but now it does and so makes for an affordable country to visit for Indians.

The average cost of visiting Sao Tome and Principe from India for a good 14 days amounts to about 51,200 INR. Try to go cycling around locales here. Else, you can even try hitchhiking. 

GHANA – Pretty African Country Making International Travel Easy for Indians!

INDONESIA – Head Straight for 20 Long Days and still Don’t Feel the Expensive Pinch!

Most Indian travellers associate Indonesia with honeymoon tours in Bali. But that is really unfair for us and for the destination. I highly insist that plan a budget trip to places like Lombok and Gili Trawangan . Sure, Bali is beautiful but Lombok and Gili Trawangan are today where Bali was 30 years ago. Hence, these destinations are super cheap and pretty.

A 20 day backpacking trip across Indonesia will cost you well under 30,000 INR. Well this is exactly why Indonesia is considered one of the cheapest countries to travel from India

LAOS – Club it with Vietnam & Cambodia!

Laos can be clubbed along with Vietnam or Cambodia in the same itinerary. That way, you’ll have to spend on airfare just once. Also, Laos is super pretty and super safe as a travel destination. Also, very cost-effective.

A 7 day trip to Laos will cost you just 7,995 INR. This is the exact amount it costs me. Yes, it is that cheap but only if you club it along with Cambodia and Vietnam.

MADAGASCAR – The Happy Place for Indian Budget Travelers!

If there is one place in the world, I don’t mind visiting again and again, it is surely Madagascar. It is such an underrated destination. In fact, one trip isn’t enough for exploring this huge island. There’s just so much more to see. The best part is that the island doesn’t have mass tourism and therefore a lot of places are still offbeat.

An 8 day backpacking trip will to Madagascar from India costs you about 47,000 INR. Personally, I would pay a lot more to be a part of the lovely island life here.

COSTA RICA – Explore Volcanoes and Rare Landscapes without Feeling the Financial Burden!

Costa Rica is quite popular with American and European travellers but is now fast catching up with Indian travellers as well. The country is flooded with volcanoes and national parks that are a must visit for travellers.

For a 7 day trip to Costa Rica, an Indian backpacker will have to roll out around 23,400 INR. However, this excludes the flights. Since flights here as of now are expensive, I highly insist that you club Costa Rica with around 2 more Central American countries to make those flight costs worth it.

MOROCCO – Travel to Souks, Shops & Saloons for Surprisngly Affordable Prices!

Morocco is a country of enchantment and elegance. It’s replete with colour – be it in the natural landscapes or in the many souks (markets) selling fragrant spices. Try to explore as many cities as Morocco on your trip. They’re all so pretty. Avoid visiting Morocco during the month of Ramadan as there might be some restrictions on tourist activity. Rest, all is okay.

A 10 day fun trip from India to Morocco will cost you 29,180 INR. You can lower this cost even further by finding attractive discounts on flights during the offseason. If you feel like, read this useful Morocco budget travel guide for first time visitors.

SOUTH AFRICA – Hit its Capital for More than a Week!

Flights from Bangalore (my current city) to Johannesburg in South Africa have decent prices for most part of the year. And so, it makes for a good budget travel destination for Indian travellers.

If you’re interested to know and understand the history of mankind, South Africa has got to be on your travel list. Some of Homo sapiens oldest fossils have been found here. Additionally, the country has so much more to offer in terms of beauty, wildlife and people.

A 10 day backpacking trip to South Africa will cost you around 35,000 INR from India.

NEPAL – The Cheapest Country to Travel from India and so Close!

If you’re really low on budget as of now and are just beginning to travel, start with Nepal. It’s affordable, similar in India in so many things and offers a great backpacking experience. When I first started backpacking, Kathmandu was one of the first places I visited on my own.

A 10 day backpacking trip from India to Nepal will cost you roughly about 13,000 INR. Nepal is hands down one of the cheapest countries to travel from India

MOZAMBIQUE – Culturally Diverse Travel Magnet for Indian Trip Takers!

I highly insist that you travel to Mozambique and Malawi together. You’ll greatly reduce the overall travel cost since you’ll pay for the airfare just once. Also, you can avail of the visa on arrival at the Mozambique border itself. You’ll like Mozambique. It’s very culturally diverse.

A week long trip to Mozambique will cost you around 27,180 INR.

SRI LANKA – Ready for Cheap Travel After a Long Internal Crisis!

Sri Lanka is one of the cheapest countries to visit for Indian travellers. It is a lovely coastal nation with so much to see. Except for some parts of the country with unrest, the entire region is peaceful and quite welcoming towards Indian travellers.

A 25 day long trip from India to Sri Lanka will cost you not more than 27,000 INR. And this includes the flight cost.

MEXICO – America’s Cheapest Neighbour for Indian Group Travelers!

Mexico is super affordable despite being a part of North America. So as an Indian traveller, you have got to head out there. Even the flights keep offering discounts frequently.

Do slightly uncommon things in Mexico. Take a Trajinera trip or go see the Teotihuacan pyramids or perhaps fly high over the Valley de Bravos in a parachute .

A week long trip to Mexico will cost you around 56,000 INR. This cost will get lowered if you stay longer and club some Central American nations in your itinerary. Save more on airfare and utilise your money well.

CHINA – Go Wayfaring to Places like Ningbo Instead of Shanghai!

China is an immensely beautiful nation. On the one hand, there are water towns with traditional folks and on the other hugely commercial places are sprawling with rapid growth. If you really want to reduce the cost of travelling in China, choose offbeat places like Ningbo over Beijing or Shanghai.

China is welcoming to Indian travellers. The only issue you might encounter is with the food in case you’re a vegetarian. Therefore, I suggest you go through this vegetarian survival guide for the first time Indian travellers in China . It’ll help you.

An all inclusive 12 day backpacking trip to China will cost you around 32,000 INR.

I truly hope that my suggestions for the most cheapest countries to travel from India help you pack your bags and get going soon.

Always remember that self research is  one of the best ways to travel cheaply outside India.   By pursuing it for affordable international destinations for Indian travelers, you end up finding locales that are not highlighted by most people.

11 Cheap Places to Travel on the US Dollar

It’s never been easier to travel with almost no money . While post-COVID “revenge travel” has driven up prices in the short term, those are already starting to drop back down to pre-pandemic levels. And, with the spread of the sharing economy, plentiful cheap flights , and access to budget accommodation, getting away has never been more affordable.

If you’re an American, the strong dollar has made many places very cheap (or at least cheaper) to visit. While that’s not great for other folks, it is good for us Americans, as we’re getting the best exchange rates we’ve had in years. And although absolute prices are up, you’re still getting a ton of value right now.

While there are lots of great destination options, I wanted to list a few of my favorites. These are places I think are the most interesting, fun, and easy to get to, and offer excellent value for your money.

For a quick list, here’s a look at some of my favorite destinations where the US dollar does a long way (or longer than it used to):

Want more information? Here’s my full breakdown of 11 cheap places to travel on the US dollar:

Table of Contents

1. Costa Rica

5. argentina, 6. south africa, 7. cambodia, 8. south korea, 10. the united kingdom, 11. everywhere.

Costa Rica is my favorite Central American country. Though it’s one of the most expensive in the region, your money will still go far here. It also strikes a balance between budget-friendly and safe , while still offering plenty of amazing sights and activities.

In this magical place, there is a ton to see and do . You’ll find cloud forests, endangered turtles, incredible surfing, towering volcanos, epic white-water rafting , fantastic nature preserves, deep-sea diving, and some of the happiest and nicest people around.

And on the budget travel side, you’ll only need about $50 USD per day, if you use hostels and buses and cook your own food; you’ll also be able to do a few budget activities, like snorkeling or hiking trips. As a bonus, flights from the US are also very cheap. If you’re flexible, you can find round-trip flights for under $250 USD.

On a mid-range budget of $125 USD per day, you can stay in an Airbnb, eat out for all your meals, take the occasional taxi to get around, enjoy more nights out, and do more paid activities (like guided tours, surf lessons, and museum visits). In short, you won’t want for anything on this budget.

Vietnam is one of the cheapest countries in an already budget-friendly region. If you budgeted $25-30 USD per day, you would want for little. Hostels are just a few bucks a day, and you can get delicious street food for as little as $1 USD. (You can visit the country comfortably quite comfortably for $50-75 USD per day if you’re looking for more luxury.)

Be sure to spend some time in the hectic capital of Hanoi , and visit HaLong Bay when you’re in the north.

In the south, don’t miss the Chu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City (tunnels used by the Viet Cong during the war with the US). They offer an eye-opening look at the conflict.

For some adventurous activities, like canyoning and cliff jumping, head to Da Lat. If you’re looking for beaches, Nha Trang and Mui Ne should be at the top of your list!

Not only is Romania an underrated destination in Europe , but it’s also a budget-friendly one. Bucharest is a modern, up-and-coming capital, and the entire Transylvania region is breathtaking. Brasov, my favorite city there, offers lots of history ( including the infamous Bran Castle, known as “Dracula’s Castle” ). Transportation is cheap, and both ridesharing and hitchhiking are common. It’s a huge country, too so you can easily spend a few weeks and still just scratch the surface. In fact, I love it so much that I used to run tours there!

Backpackers can comfortably enjoy their time here for as little as $35-40 USD per day, which is a steal in Europe. And if you want to splurge and stay in hotels, eat out more, and enjoy a few drinks, you can easily do that for under $100 USD per day (or less).

Now that Romania is a (partially) part of the Schengen Area and there are no border checks via sea or air, I suspect the country will become more popular. That means more people and higher prices, so don’t wait to visit!

Learn more and plan your trip with my in-depth guide to Romania !  

While India has always been a cheap country, with the US dollar doing so well, it’s even cheaper! You can get by on as little as $25-30 USD per day — often less! Mouthwatering meals can be found for under $2 USD, and accommodation is just $5-10 USD per night, depending on where you are.

Even if you go for mid-range accommodation and food, you’ll be hard-pressed to spend more than $50 USD per day unless you’re staying at fancy resorts — and even they are quite affordable! While flights to India can be expensive, once you arrive, everything is a bargain.

Be sure not to miss the epic Taj Mahal , the laid-back beaches of Goa, the holy city of Varanasi , and sweeping metropolises like New Delhi and Mumbai.

Argentina is brimming with history, culture, wine, football, and outdoor wonders like Patagonia . It’s one of my favorite countries in South America. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is considered one of the liveliest cities in the world. (Most people speak English, which makes it easier to get around.) I’ve never drunk so much wine or eaten as much steak as I did here (which blew my budget, but it was worth it!).

The only problem is the rampant inflation, so prices are always in flux (especially now that their current leader is making some sweeping changes). But even with that, you can still get by on around $40-50 USD per day by staying in hostels and sticking to cheap and free activities like museum visits, hiking, and free walking tours.

Patagonia is the main draw here, offering stunning landscapes and world-class hiking. Nature lovers will also want to visit Iguazú Falls , the largest waterfall system in the world! And while guided hikes cost upwards of $450 USD for a multiday trek, that’s still super cheap considering it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m not a big hiker or camper but even I thought it was amazing!

Learn more and plan your trip with my in-depth guide to Argentina !  

Safaris, wineries, mountains, and an endless coastline that is perfect for road trips. That’s South Africa. As a backpacker or budget traveler, this country is an amazing destination to visit as there are a lot of work opportunities as well as plenty of adventurous activities (and some great hiking) to keep you busy.

While it’s true that South Africa struggles with corruption and petty crime , it has a booming tourism industry and a growing backpacker and digital nomad scene. It’s an amazing place to road trip too.

With $50-60 USD per day, you’ll be able to enjoy the amazing beaches and laid-back lifestyle that makes South Africa so appealing. While there are definitely cheaper places on the continent, you’ll get a lot of value here.

Don’t miss hiking up Table Mountain or visiting the penguins when you’re in Cape Town . And if you’re looking for a world-class safari experience, head to Kruger National Park!

Learn more and plan your trip with my in-depth guide to South Africa !

Cambodia is one of my favorite countries in the world. The people are so incredibly welcoming, and even after a long absence between visits , I still found it to be one of the best destinations in Southeast Asia: affordable, friendly, and safe.

Prices have increased a little over the years, but not by much (it’s still cheaper than Thailand). Backpackers can easily get by for $45-50 USD or less per day. Street food is cheap and delicious (Phnom Penh is an amazing foodie city), and hostels cost under $10 USD per night. You can travel across much of the country via bus for $20 USD too.

Plus, Angkor Wat is one of the most amazing historical sites in the world. It’s $37 USD to enter, but it’s a Wonder of the World and should not be skipped (a three-day pas is $62 USD, and I do suggest spending more than one day here).

Be sure to  also visit the Killing Fields and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh for a sobering look at the country’s violent past. It’s heavy but necessary.

Learn more and plan your trip with my in-depth guide to Cambodia !  

I don’t know why most people don’t talk about it, but if you want a cheap East Asian country with stunning countryside, South Korea is it. The country offers a lot of value!

When I went to South Korea a few years ago, I was stunned by how cheap everything was. Sure, it’s not as inexpensive as Southeast Asia , but compared to Japan or Europe, it’s quite affordable. With the South Korean won  at 1,309 KRW per USD and most everything costing only a few thousand won , I can’t imagine busting your budget here (unless you’re a huge foodie, because the cuisine here is delicious).

You can pick up bottles of beer at 7-11 for a couple of dollars. Hostels in Seoul start around $16 USD per night (hotel rooms start at $25 USD per night). Backpackers can get by for only $60-75 USD here.

Be sure to indulge in Seoul’s culinary scene while you’re here, and visit the Gyeongbukgung Palace (it’s the most stunning royal palace in Seoul). For a more luxurious getaway, head to Jeju Island for beaches and some fun in the sun. And if you want to learn about the country’s temultuous relationship with North Korea, take a guided tour of the DMZ .

I confess, I was late to the party on Mexico . While I had visited some of the touristy areas, it wasn’t until recently that I finally explored beyond the resorts. And I loved every minute.

Mexico City is a world-class metropolis with amazing food and nightlife, Oaxaca has incredible historic sites and an abundance of delicious eateries (and all the mezcal you can drink), and the Yucatán Peninsula is perfect for road trips and swimming in secluded cenotes (sinkholes).

While the country gets a bad rap in the US (thanks to overzealous media coverage), it’s actually much safer (and cheaper) than people think. Travelers can get by on as little as $50 USD per day ($100-120 USD if you want hotels and not hostels), and flights from the US are often just $200 USD round-trip.

In short, it’s a great option for US travelers who are short on time but still want to explore somewhere fun, sunny, and cheap.

In years past, the British pound (GBP) has been worth up to double the US dollar. That’s not the case anymore. Still struggling post-Brexit, it’s now worth just 20-30% more than the dollar. So, while the UK isn’t exactly a cheap place to visit, the weakened pound and strong dollar mean that now you’ll get a lot more value compared to years past. Backpackers can get around for as little as $75 USD per day by sticking to hostels, free museums, and cheap pub food. There’s tons of free things to do in London so you don’t have to break the bank here.

If you do want to splash out, skip-the-line tickets of the Tower of London are a must.

Learn more and plan your trip with my in-depth guide to England and Scotland !  

A strong US dollar makes traveling the world much cheaper than it would be otherwise — especially if you want to head to Europe and visit some “traditionally expensive” destinations. And while a strong dollar doesn’t mean “free,” it can definitely help you travel longer or in more luxury.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity while you can. Because who knows how long the strong dollar will last?

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner . It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld . If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• SafetyWing (best for everyone)
• Insure My Trip (for those 70 and over)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Want to Travel for Free? Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation — all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to picking the right card and my current favorites to get started and see the latest best deals.

The summit, held at the luxurious Borgo Egnazia resort in Italy’s Apulia region from June 13 to 15, is expected to focus on pressing global challenges, including the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict.

PM Modi is likely to meet US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.

“He (Biden) expects to see Prime Minister Modi here. It’s up to the Indians to formally confirm his attendance, but our expectation is that the two of them will have the opportunity to encounter one another,” Sullivan stated.

This will be PM Modi’s fifth consecutive participation in the G7 summit, with India having attended ten previous summits. On June 14, he will also take part in the outreach session, where the focus will be on Artificial Intelligence (AI), energy, Africa, and the Mediterranean.

"The G7 points to increasing recognition and contribution of the efforts that India has been consistently making including those of peace, security, development and environment preservation," Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said.

“PM's participation in the G7 summit would also provide a timely opportunity to follow up on outcomes of the G20 Summit held under India's presidency last year and deliberate on issues focused on the global south," Kwatra added.

Travel Insurance Types: Which One Is Right for You?

There are several types of travel insurance you'll want to evaluate before choosing the policy that's right for you. A few of the most popular types of travel insurance include:

COVID travel insurance Select insurance plans offer some or a combination of the following COVID-19-related protections: coverage for rapid or PCR testing; accommodations if you're required to quarantine during your trip if you test positive for coronavirus; health care; and trip cancellations due to you or a family member testing positive for COVID-19. Read more about the best COVID-19 travel insurance options .

Cancel for any reason insurance Cancel for any reason travel insurance works exactly how it sounds. This type of travel insurance lets you cancel your trip for any reason you want – even if your reason is that you simply decide you no longer want to go. Cancel for any reason travel insurance is typically an add-on you can purchase to go along with other types of travel insurance. For that reason, you will pay more to have this kind of coverage added to your policy.

Also note that this type of coverage typically only reimburses 50% to 80% of your nonrefundable prepaid travel expenses. You'll want to make sure you know exactly how much reimbursement you could qualify for before you invest in this type of policy. Compare the best cancel for any reason travel insurance options here .

International travel insurance Travel insurance is especially useful when traveling internationally, as it can provide medical coverage for emergencies (in some cases for COVID-19) when you're far from home. Depending which international travel insurance plan you choose, this type of travel insurance can also cover lost or delayed luggage, rental cars, travel interruptions or cancellations, and more.

Cheap travel insurance If you want travel insurance but don't want to spend a lot of money, there are plenty of cheap travel insurance options that will offer at least some protections (and peace of mind). These are typically called a company's basic or standard plan; many travel insurance companies even allow you to customize your coverage, spending as little or as much as you want. Explore your options for the cheapest travel insurance here .

Trip cancellation, interruption and delay insurance Trip cancellation coverage can help you get reimbursement for prepaid travel expenses, such as your airfare and cruise fare, if your trip is ultimately canceled for a covered reason. Trip interruption insurance, on the other hand, kicks in to reimburse you if your trip is derailed after it starts. For instance, if you arrived at your destination and became gravely ill, it would cover the cost if you had to cut your trip short.

Trip delay insurance can help you qualify for reimbursement of any unexpected expenses you incur (think: lodging, transportation and food) in the event your trip is delayed for reasons beyond your control, such as your flight being canceled and rebooked for the next day. You will want to save your receipts to substantiate your claim if you have this coverage.

Lost, damaged, delayed or stolen bags or personal belongings Coverage for lost or stolen bags can come in handy if your checked luggage is lost by your airline or your luggage is delayed so long that you have to buy clothing and toiletries for your trip. This type of coverage can kick in to cover the cost to replace lost or stolen items you brought on your trip. It can also provide coverage for the baggage itself. It's even possible that your travel insurance policy will pay for your flight home if damages are caused to your residence and your belongings while you're away, forcing you to return home immediately.

Travel medical insurance If you find yourself sick or injured while you are on vacation, emergency medical coverage can pay for your medical expenses. With that in mind, however, you will need to find out whether the travel medical insurance you buy is primary or secondary. Where a primary policy can be used right away to cover medical bills incurred while you travel, secondary coverage only provides reimbursement after you have exhausted other medical policies you have.

You will also need to know how the travel medical coverage you purchase deals with any preexisting conditions you have, including whether you will have any coverage for preexisting conditions at all. Read more about the best travel medical insurance plans .

Evacuation insurance Imagine you break your leg while on the side of a mountain in some far-flung land without quality health care. Not only would you need travel medical insurance coverage in that case, but you would also need coverage for the exorbitant expense involved in getting you off the side of a mountain and flying you home where you can receive appropriate medical care.

Evacuation coverage can come in handy if you need it, but you will want to make sure any coverage you buy comes with incredibly high limits. According to Squaremouth, an emergency evacuation can easily cost $25,000 in North America and up to $50,000 in Europe, so the site typically suggests customers buy policies with $50,000 to $100,000 in emergency evacuation coverage.

Cruise insurance Travel delays; missed connections, tours or excursions; and cruise ship disablement (when a ship encounters a mechanical issue and is unable to continue on in the journey) are just a few examples why cruise insurance can be a useful protection if you've booked a cruise vacation. Learn more about the top cruise insurance plans here .

Credit card travel insurance It is not uncommon to find credit cards that include trip cancellation and interruption coverage , trip delay insurance, lost or delayed baggage coverage, travel accident insurance, and more. Cards that offer this coverage include popular options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card , the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card and The Platinum Card from American Express . 

Note that owning a credit card with travel insurance protection is not enough for your coverage to count: To take advantage of credit card travel insurance, you must pay for prepaid travel expenses like your airfare, hotel stay or cruise with that specific credit card. Also, note that credit cards with travel insurance have their own list of exclusions to watch out for. Many also require cardholders to pay an annual fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to buy travel insurance is normally within a few weeks of booking your trip since you may qualify for lower pricing if you book early. Keep in mind, some travel insurance providers allow you to purchase plans until the day before you depart.

Many times, you are given the option to purchase travel insurance when you book your airfare, accommodations or vacation package. Travel insurance and travel protection are frequently offered as add-ons for your trip, meaning you can pay for your vacation and some level of travel insurance at the same time.

However, many people choose to wait to buy travel insurance until after their entire vacation is booked and paid for. This helps travelers tally up all the underlying costs associated with a trip, and then choose their travel insurance provider and the level of coverage they want.

Figuring out where to buy travel insurance may be confusing but you can easily research and purchase travel insurance online these days. Some consumers prefer to shop around with a specific provider, such as Allianz or Travelex, but you can also shop and compare policies with a travel insurance platform. Popular options include:

• TravelInsurance.com: TravelInsurance.com offers travel insurance options from more than a dozen vetted insurance providers. Users can read reviews on the various travel insurance providers to find out more about previous travelers' experiences with them. Squaremouth: With Squaremouth, you can enter your trip details and compare more than 90 travel insurance plans from 20-plus providers.
• InsureMyTrip: InsureMyTrip works similarly, letting you shop around and compare plans from more than 20 travel insurance providers in one place. InsureMyTrip also offers several guarantees, including a Best Price Guarantee, a Best Plan Guarantee and a Money-Back Guarantee that promises a full refund if you decide you no longer need the plan you purchased.

When you need to file a travel insurance claim, you should plan on explaining to your provider what happened to your trip and why you think your policy applies. If you planned to go on a Caribbean cruise, but your husband fell gravely ill the night before you were set to depart, you would need to explain that situation to your travel insurance company. Information you should share with your provider includes the details of why you're making a claim, who was involved and the exact circumstances of your loss.

Documentation is important, and your travel insurance provider will ask for proof of what happened. Required documentation for travel insurance typically includes any proof of a delay, receipts, copies of medical bills and more.

Most travel insurance companies let you file a claim using an online form, but some also allow you to file a claim by phone or via fax. Some travel insurance providers, such as Allianz and Travel Insured International, offer their own mobile apps you can use to buy policies and upload information or documents that substantiate your claim. In any case, you will need to provide the company with proof of your claim and the circumstances that caused it.

If your claim is initially denied, you may also need to answer some questions or submit some additional information that can highlight why you do, in fact, qualify.

Whatever you do, be honest and forthcoming with all the information in your claim. Also, be willing to provide more information or answer any questions when asked.

Travel insurance claims typically take four to six weeks to process once you file with your insurance company. However, with various flight delays and cancellations due to things like extreme weather and pilot shortages, more travelers have begun purchasing travel insurance, encountering trip issues and having to submit claims. The higher volume of claims submitted has resulted in slower turnaround times at some insurance companies.

The longer you take to file your travel insurance claim after a loss, the longer you will be waiting for reimbursement. Also note that, with many travel insurance providers, there is a time limit on how long you can submit claims after a trip. For example, with Allianz Travel Insurance and Travelex Insurance Services, you have 90 days from the date of your loss to file a claim.

You may be able to expedite the claim if you provide all the required information upfront, whereas the process could drag on longer than it needs to if you delay filing a claim or the company has to follow up with you to get more information.

Travel insurance is never required, and only you can decide whether or not it's right for you. Check out Is Travel Insurance Worth It? to see some common situations where it does (and doesn't) make sense.
