Note: If you don’t insure the actual cost of your trip (plane tickets, hotels, etc.), then the insurance is a lot cheaper. All I want is emergency medical. I am using Allianz, this is the company that AAA (at least in CA as of June 2016) uses. Their travel apps is very nice. The app has emergency numbers, drug dictionary, first aid terms/translation, and hospitals by country/city.
