What is basic travel insurance?

Unexpected issues can happen anytime while you’re traveling, and basic travel insurance can help protect you from additional costs. Whether it’s canceled flights, illnesses, or lost luggage, if something goes wrong on vacation, you could lose your prepaid, nonrefundable expenses if you don’t have coverage.

When you protect your trip with basic travel insurance, you can get financial help with many common travel issues, like trip cancellation, emergency medical care, and lost personal belongings. Our comprehensive-but-affordable travel insurance plan, Advantage, offers more than basic coverage. It gives you access to six optional upgrades, 24/7 travel assistance, and a range of helpful benefits that can support you when you need it most.

What does basic travel insurance cover?

Our Advantage plan may be our more affordable travel insurance over our most comprehensive Ultimate plan, but it can still cover you for a variety of costs that come with unexpected vacation obstacles. From coverage for pre-trip cancellations and on-trip interruptions to medical emergencies and accidental death, our basic travel insurance is anything but basic.

If you get hurt or sick during your trip, you’ll have up to $50,000 emergency medical and $500 emergency dental coverage with our Advantage plan. If you need an emergency evacuation, Advantage includes up to $250,000 in coverage. Plus, you can reach our expert travel assistance team 24/7 for help with coordinating medical care and more. Because when you travel with us, help is always by your side.

FAQs about our Advantage affordable travel insurance plan

Can the Advantage plan cover my international trip?

Yes, if you’re traveling overseas, our Advantage plan could be a suitable affordable travel insurance option for your trip.

 

It’s always smart to pack travel insurance, but even more so when you’re traveling outside of the U.S. Not only can long-haul flights cost more. International trips can also mean expensive unplanned medical costs if you get sick or injured while you’re away.

 

With Advantage, you can protect a trip cost of up to $10,000, get up to $12,500 coverage for unplanned interruptions, and $50,000 coverage for emergency medical expenses while you’re on your international trip.

Is Advantage your most affordable travel insurance plan?

If you’re looking for cheap basic travel insurance, our Essential plan offers our most affordable comprehensive coverage. With Essential, you’ll have key benefits at a lower price, plus six optional upgrades.

 

But if you’re looking for great coverage at an even greater price, our Advantage plan might be right for you.

 

You can compare all our plans here or get a fast quote to see which plans are suitable for your trip.

What doesn’t the Advantage plan cover?

We create our plans to help protect you from the unexpected. This means you’ll need to buy your policy before anything goes wrong for coverage to apply.

 

Whatever scenario you find yourself in must be an eligible event, and you must always do what you can to help prevent a claimable event. For example, if you leave your bag on a table in a restaurant while you go to the bathroom and it’s stolen, it’s unlikely you’ll be eligible for coverage because you left it unattended.

 

Our Advantage plan covers a lot, but it can’t cover everything. Check the description of coverage for all the details, which you can access online when you get a quote. Already purchased this plan? Check your Confirmation of Coverage email for details.

If you’re looking for comprehensive coverage, it’s worth knowing our Advantage plan doesn’t include these benefits that our top-tier Ultimate plan offers:

  • Kids-included pricing: Our Ultimate plan can cover one child 17 or younger per each insured adult, making it a great option for families. (The kid’s trip cost has to be the same or less than the adult’s trip cost for the coverage to apply, and if you include any upgrades in your policy, each traveler will be charged for the upgrade cost.)
  • Trip inconvenience: Our Ultimate plan can reimburse you up to $200 for a closed beach, cruise disablement, or closed attraction.
  • Waiver of the pre-existing condition exclusion: Our Ultimate plan can cover your pre-existing medical conditions if you buy the plan within 21 days of your initial trip expense and insure your entire trip cost.
  • More optional upgrades: Our Ultimate plan offers three more upgrades than our Advantage plan: cancel for any reason, cancel for business reasons, and medical upgrades. So, you can choose from nine total upgrades instead of six.

If you have more questions about what our Advantage plan does and doesn’t cover, give our customer service a call at 1-800-228-9792.
