______________________________
Normally when traveling to Europe the only thing needed is a Dual Voltage Adapter for a cell phone and laptop.
Purchase a UNIVERSAL ADAPTER, instead of using different adapters
for different countries.
- Phones & Laptops; you need is an adapter to plug it into the wall.
- A Razor or Electric Toothbrush may work that way, however, you need to know if your device is dual voltage.
A VOLTAGE CONVERTER allows devices to operate at high temperatures and cannot be run on the electricity provided.
- A voltage converter is not going to help with electronics that aren’t dual voltage.
- Hair Devices (flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers) use dual voltage.
- The U.S. runs on 110 volt electricity.
- Japan is 100 volts.
- Europe, Asia, and Australia run between 220 volts and 240 volts.
A TRANSFORMER changes the current to something closer to pure voltage.
- If you are using electronics that are not DUAL VOLTAGE a Transformer is needed.
- Because of the 'weight' of most transformers, use the smallest transformer possible based on the wattage of your device.
- When choosing between a CONVERTER or TRANSFORMER,
you need to know the maximum wattage at which your device(s) operate.
- You need a Converter or Transformer that is certified to operate at
greater than that wattage.

READ THE FINE PRINT
Many insurance providers only offer "bare-bones travel insurance plans" with little coverage and a long list of exclusions.
The details and exclusions of the plan are buried in the fine print.
