We'd had a lot of discussion in a couple of thread's lately about travel insurance and I'd communicated with a couple of members privately as well. I did reach out to my contact and asked him a couple of questions.

  1. Were there any travel insurance outside the captive plans (Travelex for MVC) that cover timeshare stays when owned including maintenance fees (there used to be one but they quit doing so) and his info said no.
  2. Anything for European residents and he was not aware of any.

Not a lot of info I know and there are those here with a lot more knowledge and experience dealing with travel insurance but I'd promised follow up to a couple of people if I did get anything. Personally I figure I can self insure the trips though I have started buying Medical when out of the country because it's cheap and will ensure against catastrophic costs like an air evacuation off a cruise ship or from Europe.
