I want to purchase travel insurance. I will make three or four trips this year. Where can I get annual travel insurance at a reasonable rate?
-Anne, East Rockaway, N.Y.
 
There are a number of different companies that offer this type of travel insurance. Just a few examples include:
 
 
 
 
 
Prices will vary depending on the level of coverage and the services the company provides. One thing to keep in mind is that 3-4 trips per year is right on the cusp of when it makes sense to buy insurance for each individual trip versus yearly insurance. So when you're researching plans, it would be a good idea to get quotes for both options.
 
One great Web site for making comparisons among the plans of major companies is InsureMyTrip.com. Here you can choose from more than a dozen top insurers to find the right insurance for you.
