Travel Insurance for International Trips

What to Know About Travel Insurance

International travel presents many unpredictable variables that make purchasing travel insurance worthwhile. Here are tips in choosing the right travel insurance for you:

Travel Insurance for International Trips

Comprehensive Travel Insurance

Travel insurance typically provides you options of which packages to purchase. There is the base package that covers travel incidentals, such as delays and lost luggage. There are also packages that include medical expenses and evacuation costs. For international travel, it is best and safest to choose comprehensive plans for both travel and medical coverage.

 

Check Your Credit Card Perks

Check if your credit card offers travel insurance as a perk. Many companies include travel insurance benefits such as flight delay reimbursements or medical expenses. Carefully read the details of who is eligible (yourself, your partner, your family, etc), what is covered, and for how much. The policies have strict guidelines that may not necessarily cover your damages.

 

Research Which Fits You

Research which insurance company best fits you as a traveler. For instance, Travelex is great for families as kids under 18 are included without extra fees. Even without families, Travelex’s Travel Select Plan has excellent comprehensive coverage and helpful customer service. And for those planning to travel for multiple months at a time, Allianz has plans that will insure trips up to six months.

Read the Fine Print

Carefully review what is and is not covered as each company and package are different. Coverage may vary in terms of where you travel, the circumstances of your medical expenses, and so on. Be sure to choose a company with excellent customer service reviews.

 

Annual Packages

If you travel frequently, consider an annual package that you will simply renew once a year. This lets you travel without the worry of insuring each and every trip.
