Travel Insurance

Travel with a little more peace of mind

A trip is a big investment of money and time, and a lot can happen between booking and coming home. Travel insurance helps protect non-refundable costs like airfare, hotels, and tours, and can cover medical emergencies, evacuation, and lost belongings while you're away. No policy can guarantee your safety on the road — but knowing you're covered can help you relax and enjoy the trip.

Coverage for what trips can throw at you

Travel insurance generally falls into two buckets: protecting the money you've put into the trip, and protecting you while you're on it. The right plan depends on where you're going, how much you've prepaid, and whether your health coverage travels with you. A local agent can help you weigh the options before you book.

Common reasons travelers buy it

  • Expensive or non-refundable trips
  • International travel where your health plan may not apply
  • Cruises and tours with strict cancellation terms
  • Travel during unpredictable weather seasons
  • Trips with connecting flights and tight timing

What a travel plan can include

Trip cancellation

Reimburses non-refundable costs if a covered reason forces you to cancel.

Trip delay & interruption

Helps with added costs when travel is delayed or cut short by a covered event.

Emergency medical & dental

Care for illness or injury that happens while you're away from home.

Medical evacuation

Transport to appropriate care — a major expense without coverage.

Baggage & belongings

Coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property on the trip.

Accidental death

Travel accident protection for you and your traveling companions.

Coverage is subject to underwriting and plan terms, and is not bound or altered until confirmed by an authorized representative. Covered reasons, limits, and exclusions vary by plan.

FAQ

Travel insurance, answered

What does travel insurance cover?

Plans can include trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, emergency medical and dental away from home, medical evacuation, and lost or delayed baggage. You choose the plan that matches your trip and budget.

Do I need travel insurance if I already have health insurance?

Often, yes — especially abroad. Many U.S. health plans provide little or no coverage outside the country, and they won’t reimburse a non-refundable trip or pay for medical evacuation. Travel medical coverage fills that gap.

When should I buy travel insurance?

Ideally soon after you book. Buying early can unlock benefits like pre-existing condition waivers and “cancel for any reason” options, and it covers cancellations that happen before you ever leave.

What is “cancel for any reason” coverage?

It’s an optional upgrade that reimburses part of your non-refundable costs if you cancel for a reason a standard policy wouldn’t cover. It usually must be added shortly after booking, so ask your agent early.

Is travel insurance worth it for cruises?

Often. Cruises and tours tend to have strict cancellation terms, tight connections, and overseas medical exposure — exactly what travel insurance is built for.
