Why should I consider LGBTQ+ travel insurance for my trip?
Any trip is worth protecting, because we never know what travel mishaps — and unexpected costs — could come up. From flight cancellations to illnesses and injuries, travel comes with risk. But for the LGBTQ+ community, the risk of something going wrong may be a bit higher. You may be more likely to be a crime target, have legal issues, or have trouble finding healthcare abroad.
We want you to feel free to be yourself on vacation. But that might feel tricky if your vacation plans go awry — from stolen belongings or lost luggage to a missed connection or travel delay — and you don’t know what to do or how to pay for the extra costs.
At Travelex, we can reimburse eligible expenses like replacement of essential belongings and your hotel stay during an eligible delay. So, you can feel extra confident traveling with our LGBTQ+ travel insurance, knowing we’re helping to protect you from unexpected costs.
What does Travelex LGBTQ+ travel insurance include?
Our plans are packed with benefits for all travelers, but some may be extra important for LGBTQ+ travelers.
Medical emergencies
Whether it's a sudden illness or an unexpected accident, our LGBTQ+ travel insurance can provide coverage for emergency medical expenses and emergency medical evacuations, ensuring you get the care you need without the extra stress.
Plus, our 24/7 medical assistance team can help you find LGBTQ-friendly healthcare providers nearby and coordinate your emergency evacuation, so you feel understood and respected while getting the treatment you deserve.
Kids-included pricing
With our Ultimate plan, we can cover one child (17 years old or younger) per insured adult (at least 18 years old) at no additional cost. This family travel insurance coverage means you can protect your kids with less financial burden.
Good to know: The child’s individual trip cost must be equal to or lower than the insured adult’s individual trip cost for coverage to apply. If upgrades are selected and included in the policy, each traveler will be charged the applicable premium for the upgrade.
Trip cancellations
Plans can change in the blink of an eye. With trip cancellation coverage, you can cancel your trip for an eligible reason (like illness or injury) and get up to 100% of your insured trip cost back.
Want to be able to cancel your trip no matter what happens, whether you don’t want to miss the local Pride parade or want to change your trip to safer LGBTQ+ travel destinations? Check out our cancel for any reason upgrade now.
Lost, stolen, damaged, or delayed luggage
If your luggage decides to go on its own adventure, our baggage coverage ensures you're not left stranded without the items you need. It can provide coverage for your eligible replacement belongings to help you get back on track without worrying about your wallet.
How can LGBTQ+ travel insurance help me travel safer?
We’re not just here for your finances — we’re also here for you, and we take LGBTQ+ travel safety seriously. Before and while traveling, you’ll have access to our Travel On app to check LGBTQ+ risk ratings in your destination and have a better understanding of the area’s level of acceptance. We can even send you real-time safety alerts from the app while you’re on vacation if there’s something risky happening nearby.
Plus, with just a tap in our app you can call our caring 24/7 travel assistance provider. This way, you know specialists are always on your side and ready to help you conquer your travel concerns.
Do I need coverage if I’m going to destinations that welcome LGBTQ+ travelers?
Yes, it’s smart to consider LGBTQ+ travel insurance no matter where you’re going. Cancellations, injuries, delays, and more can happen anywhere and anytime — and without coverage, you could be paying for unexpected costs all on your own.
If you choose to travel with us, you’ll never have to go through travel mishaps alone. Our travel assistance team is ready to support you 24/7.
