Welcome to the TripInsuranceStore.com Travel Insurance Blog!

The author of the TripInsuranceStore.com Travel Insurance Blog is Steve Dasseos. In Feb. 2001 Steve founded and is the President of TripInsuranceStore.com. Steve’s purpose for this blog is to help you understand travel insurance better.

But before I go any farther, I’ll tell you what a “blog” is. “Blog” is a blend of the words for “web” and “log”. On a blog the entries are written in chronological order, but they are displayed in reverse chronological order. Older entries are archived, too.

Travel insurance is a generic term that includes these things:

• Trip cancellation & interruption insurance
• Travel health / medical (including emergency evacuation) coverage
• Flight accident life insurance (plane crash)
• Travel Delay forces you to have additional accommodation expenses
• Missed connection
• Lost, stolen, damaged or delayed luggage

Something you’ll notice about TripInsuranceStore.com is that we don’t offer travel insurance plans from every company. In fact, not even from some better known companies. We only offer plans from the companies I trust. That’s because I’m both paranoid (in a healthy way) and skeptical in the beginning about financial / insurance company’s products.

The way I look at it is that buying almost anything is a risk. You are trading a known certainty (your hard earned money) for an unknown quantity - the promise of the product doing what it says it will do.

Thankfully, most products & services available deliver / do exactly what they say they do.
