6) Don’t break travel insurance rules. Check out everything you are covered for and find the list of prohibited activities or locations.
7) Don’t buy travel insurance after you have become ill or your trip was cancelled because you will not be covered.

9) If you have doubts about terms and conditions of your policy, don’t be afraid to ask questions. The reputed insurance companies will provide you with any information you need. Asking question will give you a clear close idea as to what you are covered and what you are not covered for.
