Cruisers have specific coverage needs that other travelers will not need to consider. Because of this, our recommended cruise plans have coverages that are may benefit cruisers more than a traditional comprehensive plan, such as inconvenience coverage for itinerary changes due to severe weather or coverage for an onboard service disruption due to widespread illness.

Winter weather brings its own set of challenges to traveling. Our expert recommendation engine understands this and anticipates the probability of needing excellent coverage for weather-related cancellations, travel delays and missed connection while traveling during winter months. By looking at the dates of your next trip as well as the state or province in which you reside, our engine will find three travel insurance recommendations for your trip.

For Your Next Trip During Hurricane Season

The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November 30 every year. InsureMyTrip knows that traveling during this time, especially to a destination prone to hurricanes, brings certain risk. Some comprehensive plans include coverage for specific to hurricane warnings or severe weather, such as a warning from the NOAA Hurricane Center. When InsureMyTrip identifies travelers who fit criteria that may heighten their risk of being affected by hurricanes and tropical storms, we can recommend the best travel insurance option available.

For Your Next Trip that May Only Include Airfare

When you purchase a comprehensive travel insurance, you only need to insure your pre-paid, non-refundable costs. For some travelers, this may only mean their airfare. With InsureMyTrip's unbiased algorithm for flight insurance plans, travelers can find the best options for comprehensive coverage for their flight, at a reasonable price. Customers will only see these recommendations if the only trip detail added to their quote information is "Taking a Flight".

The comprehensive plans offered by the algorithm provide more covered reasons to cancel a trip than typical ticket protector plans offered by airlines, such as delays due to weather or employee strike. These plans also include benefits like baggage, travel delay, and missed connection to help you while you're traveling. Don't forget: while we want you to find the plan that's right for your trip and budget, some plans require you to insure the total pre-paid, non-refundable trip cost to secure benefits. You can find the details in the plan certificate.
