Travel Insurance While travel insurance may be one of the last things to consider, it is one of the most important aspects of planning for travels abroad. We hope that everything goes smoothly, however, unexpected interruptions can occur including flight delays or cancellations due to weather, natural disasters, and other unforeseen circumstances. STA Travel offers worldwide international travel insurance through the Travel Protection policy. Some of the inclusions of this Travel Protection policy are trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, and baggage and personal effects protection.
