Travel Insurance?

My wife and I do already have good insurance coverage. Would it be wise to obtain a secondary travel insurance for our 3 week trip to Switzerland and Italy in September? If so, any suggestions for providers?

Does your current insurance also cover evacuation expenses? It not, you'll need additional coverage. If you break a leg and need special seating to get you back home, it will cost at least $20,000+

www.insuremytrip.com is the best place to compare the policies of various companies so that you can get just the coverage you need without any that you don't. You should make sure that your current insurance covers you while abroad (many don't, mine does), and that you have adequate med evac insurance in case of an accident or illness that would require special transportation arrangements to get you (or your remains) home.
