Travel insurance has been required of travelers in the past to travel to French Polynesia, however, despite it not being a requirement now, travel insurance is a wise idea!

Last-minute cancellations happen all too often whether it be due to you getting sick or a family member passing away unexpectedly. Travel insurance could help recoup your costs should you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason. In addition, if you get sick or injured during your trip, you could be reimbursed for any medical expenses you incur. 

To protect yourself from paying for extra costs to stay quarantined at your destination if you test positive for COVID-19, make sure you purchase travel insurance before you depart. It could reimburse you for those unexpected hotel, meal, and local transportation costs while you are in quarantine.
