I hope you have a safe trip home.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to hear you don&#8217;t want bad weather coverage as <a title=\"What's the bad weather coverage?\" href=\"https:\/\/tripinsurancestore.com\/travel-insurance-bad-weather-and-natural-disaster-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it&#8217;s too late to get any plan to cover you once the bad weather is predicted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, don&#8217;t even bother with travel insurance because it has limits for what it pays for your personal possessions. The limits are both per item and per category.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, get Excess Valuation coverage directly fom your airline when you check in. It&#8217;s typically $1 per $100 of value and it will fully cover you.<\/p>\n<p>You can get all the details here:<br \/>\n<a title=\"Get more luggage and baggage coverage\" href=\"https:\/tripinsurancestore.com\/blog\/get-more-luggage-and-baggage-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/tripinsurancestore.com\/blog\/get-more-luggage-and-baggage-coverage\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Hi there, I am South African but live in the USA.
