Buy travel insurance and save money.

Save on travel.
Recently, this activity has become a kind of competition. Colleagues tell each other how to catch a burning tour, friends share life hacking, budget cuts, bloggers organize master classes on finding cheap tickets and hotels.
Cash back service does not use only the most lazy, and he already accumulates bonuses from the bank on the card.
At the same time, few people think that buying a health insurance policy is a good way to save on travel.
Medicine abroad is expensive, and an aggravated disease or injury can negate all efforts to optimize the budget of the trip. In this case, it is desirable that the price of the policy is also not ruinous and fit into the budget. In this matter it is important in the pursuit of cheapness not to go over the edge of sanity and maintain a balance between price and quality of service.
That is why we decided to understand what should be spent on the purchase of travel insurance, and what can be excluded from the insurance policy.

Exchange rates
The first way to save money on buying a travel policy is to catch a low exchange rate. The insurance company considers the cost of such insurance in dollars or euros, depending on the destination of the trip. The calculated amount is converted into rubles at the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the date of purchase. The lower the rate, the cheaper the insurance cover will be. This method can be neglected if you go on a trip for a few days, but when you buy an annual policy, this is already a significant difference.

Term insurance
One of the most popular questions in the tourism forums: �Do I need annual insurance when I get an annual Schengen visa?� Definitely not. Enough to arrange insurance for the duration of the first trip. If you do not travel often, it makes no sense to overpay for a longer period.
On the other hand, when traveling abroad more than twice a year, the annual policy may be more profitable than individual short-term policies, allowing you not to keep in mind the idea of ??buying a new insurance every time you travel abroad. In this case, the total number of days of continuous stay abroad can be chosen.
Active recreation
Even if you are not going to participate in the Formula 1 race, do not rush to answer �no� to the question whether you need a sports flooring. It happens that the insurer does not understand the ascent of Everest by playing sports, but an unsportsmanlike trip to an aquapark. This item is important to check, looking at the terms and conditions of insurance of a particular insurer. If in doubt, it is better to overpay for sports coverage and not to deny yourself little folly.

Franchise and other nuances
The insurer's favorite method of selling insurance to an economical insurer is to offer a franchise. In this case, the insurance company will lose a small part of the profit from the cost of the policy, but will get rid of the enormous amount of payments. More than 70% of insurance claims are minor losses. Is it worth it to reduce the cost of the policy, instead of acquiring a 70% risk of paying for an insured event from one�s own pocket - a question that can have only one answer: it is better to avoid franchises in an insurance policy.
May your travels always bring only positive
