I am traveling with a friend. We live in different places and will share a hotel, rented car, but are flying separately and may have separate dates.

What is best way to about get insurance that covers the well person who wants to cancel if her travel friend cancels.- Beth,09/02/2017
Answer:
If one traveler has to cancel for a covered reason, the traveling companion is also covered to cancel as well. You do not have to be listed on the same policy together to be considered traveling companions. Please check the definition of Traveling Companion in the policy certificate to understand how the insurance companies define this.

Question:
My wife and I will be leaving on May 2nd for 36 days. 18 days in South Africa (of which 12 days will be on a guided tour), 4 days in Zimbabwe and Botswana on another guided tour, one day in India, 7 days at Club Med Bali, and one day in Singapore. How de we state the country we will visit?- PAULR,12/26/2013
Answer:
This is type of situation is considered a single trip. It is only necessary that you list the country you will be in the longest, or if you are traveling somewhere that is considered a restricted country, you would want to list that to make sure you will have coverage. In this case, I would list Zimbabwe since some policies do consider that a restricted destination.
Question:
I'm planning a trip where I'll be out of the country for 2.5 months (visiting 3 countries), returning to the US for 3 days (for a wedding in my home state but not my hometown), and then returning to one of the countries I previously visited for 3 more months. Does this qualify as a single-trip? I'm only interested in medical coverage, not trip insurance. Thanks for your help!- Elizabeth,12/14/2013
Answer:
Single Trip plans cover you to travel to multiple destinations for a short or longer period of time. Once you return home, the trip would be considered over, even if it is only for a few days, and the policy would end. Some single trip plans (State and trip duration specific) offer a coverage called "Incidental Home Country Coverage" - this coverage would allow you to insure the entire 5.5 months and 3 days, not have your coverage interrupt when you return home, and would not require you purcahse two separate plans. This optional coverage is listed under the "Additional Notes" section, when comparing a plans details. Please click on the coverage limit in blue to see the details of this coverage.
