Luckily purchasing travel insurance is quick and often results in immediate coverage. Even if you leave buying travel insurance to the last minute before your trip, it is still quite easy to purchase a plan and then get out the door. If you are currently abroad and are considering purchasing travel insurance, this is also possible. There may be special conditions that you need to consider, though. If you are currently overseas it is best to ask your intended provider about these conditions and how they can affect your coverage.
