The Hidden Pitfalls of Travel Insurance: Why Your Summer Getaway Could Cost You More Than You Think

Their annual travel insurance policy didn’t cover war-related disruptions, leaving them stranded and out of pocket. This raises a deeper question: how well do we really understand what we’re paying for when it comes to travel insurance?
