Cheapest Destinations for Travel Insurance

Filed under: Uncategorized — Travel Queen @ 7:48 pm

Here’s a list a friend of mine sent me – the 7 best travel insurance destinations (outside of Canada). Most of the places listed below feature two main points: friendliness towards English-speaking travelers and relatively safe crime areas.

Australia
If you’re thinking big and thinking of going south, then look no further than down under.  Australia, both its cities and beaches, offer an experience like no other.  You can surf and visit the Great Barrier Reefs.  There’s little worry about environmental health concerns, just reasons to enjoy a wonderful vacation in Australia.  In the cities, you’ll encounter some of the world’s safest and most cosmopolitan areas including an opportunity to visit the world-renowned Sydney Opera House.

Switzerland
Two words: Swiss Alps.  Switzerland is one of the world’s most beautiful countries, it’s also a nature lovers dream.  I should now… I’ve been there. My hubby and I backpacked through Switzerland with our first child when he was only 7 months old!  From hiking to skiing or relaxing at a lake, Switzerland is nature at its purest.  After a day camped in the Swiss Alps, you can return to a country who is equally known for spas and chalets that reinvigorate. Switzerland is also the world’s safest country and most of its cities carry the distinction of being among the safest in the world as well.

Beaches of Florida
Florida’s one of the most affordable vacations you can take.  Throw in the fact that your travel insurance for luggage and other reasons will be cheap.  Whether you’re visiting Fort Myers Beach, Key West, Miami, Clearwater or Daytona, Florida’s beaches give you the tropical pleasure without the expensive plane ticket prices (you could even drive!) or crime associated with the tropics.  Florida’s beach areas have low crime and good seasonal hotel rates.


Amsterdam
Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, is one of the most affordable European trips.  The city is also one of the safest in Europe. Amsterdam’s museums including the Anne Frank and Van Gogh museums deliver experiences not to be missed.  Amsterdam is also a safe trip with little to no reports of pickpockets.  Stay in a bed and breakfast outside or inside the city, either way you’ll be served one of the cheapest travel insurance destinations. It’s also an English-friendly country so if you need help, you can get it with just a few words.

London
London is perhaps the best traditional visit on this list. Most of the tourist spots carry low crime rates. London is a site to see even if you don’t enter a museum.  From Big Ben, to the redesigned Globe Theatre, London is  a pleasure to behold. For these reasons, it’s one of the cheapest travel insurance destinations.


Napa Valley
Most people forget about the wineries of California when planning a vacation.  Yet this wine rich environment boasts will give you a buzz without costing too many bucks. You’ll save for sure on travel insurance with Napa Valley.  It’s a safe spot for tourists and the tastiest non-food vacation you’ll experience.

Luxembourg City
The little city-state lodged between Belgium, France and Germany boasts the best of so many worlds.  It’s infused with the culture of all three of those regions.  You’ll taste the finest of French cuisine melded with the joviality only found in Germany.  Did I mention it’s consistently rated as one of the world’s safest cities?! That makes it one of the ideal insurance destinations.  Because of the variety of languages, the city possesses a lot of people who know English as a second language, making it very English friendly.

Have you been to any of these places? Do you have any other destinations to add to my list of inexpensive and safe??
