Many Credit Card Providers offer free travel insurance protection to their cardholders. However, the cover tends be very basic, and is often referred to as "Travel Accident" cover. This means that credit card travel insurance cover does not apply to the traveller before they travel or when they arrive at their destination.
Therefore cover relating to cancellation, travel delay, missed departure and possessions cover are not applicable, making the credit card travel insurance product unsuitable for many travellers.
It is therefore very important that you check your credit card travel insurance policy carefully to ensure that it gives you the comprehensive cover you require before making your trip.
