Luggage Lost

If you lose your luggage in transit, it can be a big problem because it can cost you money and cause trouble in a country you do not know. If you have travel insurance, you can get financial reimbursement to cover the loss.

If you're looking to buy travel insurance for your Greece trip, we have some tips for you.

  • First, don't settle for the first quote you find online. Take some time to compare different providers and see if you can get a better deal. 
  • Also, try to avoid buying unnecessary add-ons that you won't use. Remember, more coverage means a higher premium.
