Turkey Tourist Boat Rescue Turns Into Financial Nightmare for Stranded Travelers
If you thought your vacation insurance covered everything, think again. The dramatic turkey tourist boat rescue off the coast this week saved lives, but it's now leaving dozens of vacationers with shockingly high out-of-pocket costs for emergency transport and lost luggage. Consumer advocates warn that most standard travel policies don't cover "non-medical" evacuations or lost personal items during a boat rescue -- meaning your wallet could take a $2,000+ hit if you're ever in a similar situation. Before your next trip, check your policy's fine print -- or risk being stranded both at sea and in debt.
