The biggest mistake people make when they go to buy travel insurance is the assumption that buying direct from a cruise line, tour operator or travel insurance company is the cheapest and best way to go. A good deal of people will use a site like QuoteWright.com to compare travel insurance but once they have made a decision they will then go directly to the company to purchase the plan. Why is this a mistake? The problem here is first it is not any cheaper to go direct when purchasing trip insurance, all else being the same the price is no lower or higher whether it be from the company’s site or say a what a travel agent or comparison site has.
