Credit cards have a number of benefits. Perhaps the most obvious is that they can help you break down the cost of an expensive purchase into more manageable payments over several months \u2013 ideally interest-free. But some also come with a range of perks, such as travel insurance.<\/p>
However, rather than being offered comprehensive travel insurance with your credit card, you\u2019re most likely to be offered \u201ctravel accident insurance\u201d. This will cover accidental death or accidents resulting in a permanent injury. How much cover you get will depend on the card and whether you need to pay an annual fee.<\/p>
