What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance provides coverage for certain costs and losses that may occur during travel. Unexpected events such as illness, accidents, or missed flights can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses, and coverage helps protect the value of a trip while providing peace of mind.
Plans can be purchased online or by phone by providing basic trip details and selecting the option that best fits the itinerary. In the event of a covered loss, claims may be submitted with supporting documentation, and eligible expenses may be reimbursed according to the terms of the policy.

What's Covered?

Additional coverages can be added to suit specific travel needs. Options include Golf Protector for loss, theft, or damage to golf equipment, Enhanced Benefits Upgrade coverage, Cruise and Tour Protector coverage, and more. Selecting the right coverage depends on the type of trip and planned activities, including luxury excursions, high-value personal items, or extended multi-destination itineraries.
Most plans also include access to Travel Guard’s travel and emergency assistance services. These services support travelers during medical emergencies, last-minute flight changes, or other unexpected disruptions. Representatives can assist with coordinating medical care, arranging alternative accommodations, locating lost luggage, and managing unforeseen issues, ensuring a seamless and stress-free travel experience.
What's Not Covered?
Travel insurance coverage, limitations, and exclusions vary depending on the plan selected and the type of trip. Generally, non-refundable expenses, such as deposits, are covered, as these amounts are not reimbursed by the original travel supplier.
Travel insurance is intended for unforeseen events. If an event occurs before a policy is purchased, it is no longer considered unforeseen and may not be covered. For example, lost luggage must occur after the policy is in effect to be eligible for reimbursement. Plans can be customized with optional upgraded coverage to provide additional protection based on the specific travel itinerary, individual travel requirements, and any specialty or high-value activities included.
All travel insurance policies include exclusions and limitations, making it essential to review the policy of insurance document thoroughly prior to purchase. This document details coverage, terms, and exclusions, ensuring travelers understand the full scope of protection, potential limitations, and practical applications before and during the trip.
