Travel Insurance for International Trips
No matter where your passport takes you it’s important to consider travel insurance as part of your planning. Unexpected events can happen anywhere, and having the right protection ensures you’re not caught off guard while abroad.
- Emergency Medical Coverage – Most U.S. health insurance plans don’t extend overseas, leaving travelers responsible for high out-of-pocket costs like hospital visits, doctor care, or emergency evacuation.
- Comprehensive Plans – Go beyond medical coverage to include trip cancellation/interruption, lost or delayed baggage, travel delays, and more.
