Travel insurance - This British site describes in detail the nature of travel insurance. Due to it not being based in the United States some of the terminology may be slightly different than here in the US but we included it here as it is an excellent reference to the nature of Travel Insurance. Travel Insurance consists of trip cancellation, lost tickets, lost documents, lost and delayed baggage, medical services and a few other areas of coverage that may not be offered by the College.
