How does the Travelex Travel On app help me travel safer?

Here’s how our travel insurance app can help you be safer on vacation:

1. Real-time safety alerts: If we detect a potential safety concern near your area, our app will send you instant notifications to alert you. This way, you can try to avoid risky situations or get to a safer area if necessary.

3. 24/7 travel assistance: If you need help, you can connect with our 24/7 emergency assistance team at the tap of a button.

To connect with our emergency assistance team, you’ll need to have access to an active phone plan, sim card, or international roaming during your trip. Your mobile carrier may charge you for international plans or calls.

Why should I allow the Travel On app to send me notifications?

Allowing us to send you app notifications helps you focus on enjoying your trip instead of thinking about checking our app for new information that may affect you or your travel plans.  

 

With notifications turned on, our Travel On app will automatically alert you when new information is available or if the emergency assistance team detected an active or emerging risk, so you can stay up to date on important information with little effort.

When you grant our app access to your device's location, it helps our Travelex team keep you safe while you're on your trip.
