December typically means a flurry of holiday travel in and outside the country and get-togethers for Kenyan families. This year however, will be anything but normal. Making travel plans is now more than a matter of shopping around for cheap flight prices or car rental fees. Consider adding travel insurance to the checklist. Travel insurance is a plan you purchase that protects you from certain financial risks and losses that can occur while traveling. These losses can be minor, like a delayed suitcase, or significant, like a last-minute trip cancellation or a medical emergency overseas.
