My friends and I bought travel insurance for our trip to China. If it were up to me, I would not have thought about it. I guess I am not used to travelling abroad that is why I never thought about the need for insurance when travelling. However, one of my companions is a seasoned traveller and he always buys insurance when he travels, so I decided to get one also. I searched the web for insurance quotes then called the local travel agency where we bought our tickets, to check if they sell insurance and how much. It turned out that their rates did not differ significantly from those on the web, especially if you take into account the conversion rate fee charged by the credit card. Since I was going to the area where the agency was located, I decided to drop by their office and bought the insurance. Then, they emailed us our policy numbers and the link to the website where we can check our policy. Unfortunately, we cannot open the site even though we had filled out the required fields so we will have to call the agency to ask about it.
