Understanding Travel Insurance
Travel insurance may help protect certain prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs and provide assistance when covered events disrupt your travel. Depending on the policy, coverage may include trip cancellation or interruption, travel delays, baggage problems, emergency medical treatment, or emergency evacuation.
The details matter. Covered reasons, exclusions, benefit limits, purchase deadlines, and provisions involving pre-existing medical conditions vary by policy. A licensed agent can help you review your destination, travel dates, trip costs, and existing health coverage so you can compare options more clearly.

- Booking a cruise, guided tour, resort stay, or vacation rental
- Concerned that your existing health coverage may be limited away from home
