Summary
Travel insurance is one of those things most of us know we should think about, but often skip at checkout. It feels confusing, expensive, and unlikely that you'll actually need it. In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Jarvis, travel insurance and passenger rights expert, to break down what travel insurance really covers, the biggest misconceptions around it, and how it can actually save you money when things don't go as planned.
