Can you book travel insurance last minute?
When it comes to trip protection, you can usually protect your trip as soon as you’ve booked any part of your trip (like a hotel or flight) to benefit from cancellation coverage. Or you can buy it up to the day of departure as long as you have not left home and make the most of on-trip coverage instead.
Our Travel Med Go plan covers you after you leave home and during your vacation. So, it’s a great last-minute travel insurance option when you don’t need pre-trip cancellation coverage but still want quality coverage while you’re on your trip.
You can buy our Travel Med Go plan any time before you depart home. Once you’re traveling, it can help protect against unexpected costs that come with certain travel issues.

What does last-minute travel insurance cover?
Every travel insurance plan is unique, so it’s important to look at the coverage and make sure you’re getting what you need for your trip. If you’re buying travel insurance last minute, it’s likely you won’t need any pre-trip cancellation coverage. Instead, you’ll want to make sure you have the right on-trip coverage for your destination and whatever activities you’re planning.
Our Travel Med Go plan is a great choice if you’ll be jetting off soon, because it offers key on-trip benefits you’ll likely want —and none of the pre-trip benefits you no longer need. It’s our on-trip plan with travel medical insurance coverage, so you’ll have up to $50,000 emergency medical expense and $250,000 emergency evacuation coverage. Plus, you’ll have primary coverage for medical care and up to $10,000 accidental death and dismemberment coverage.
But our Travel Med Go plan provides more than medical-only travel insurance — it includes protection for travel delay, missed connection, lost or delayed luggage, and more. This means even if you don’t buy it until the day before you leave, you can head off on vacation knowing you have coverage for all the important things, plus our 24/7 assistance if you need us.
