Don’t forget to pack travel insurance for long-term travelers
Whether you’re spending a few weeks relaxing on a Bahamian beach or exploring Europe on a month-long vacation, long-term trips offer even more opportunities to enjoy your destinations. But before you head off on your long vacation, it's a good idea to consider protecting yourself and your trip with long-term travel insurance.
No matter how well-planned your trip is, unexpected mishaps can still occur — and extended vacations give them more opportunities to arise. If something does go wrong while you’re away and you have a Travelex policy, you'll have access to our 24/7 travel assistance and can have coverage for eligible unexpected expenses (like trip cancellations and interruptions, travel delay, emergency medical expenses, lost or stolen baggage, and more).

What’s a long-term trip?
A long-term trip lasts for more than a few days, such as a three-week vacation in Thailand or an entire summer spent in South America. But it doesn’t always have to take place outside of the U.S. — your long-term vacation could be just a few states away, whether you’re visiting family, escaping a cold winter, or traveling for work.
Why should I consider long-term travel insurance for my trip?
Travel insurance is important to pack on every trip, but even more so on longer trips. Because when you travel for longer, there are more chances for you to face a travel incident.
If you’re injured on your trip, have a personal belonging stolen, or need to rebook a missed flight, you could end up paying expensive bills on top of your trip’s original cost. Thankfully, travel insurance for long-term travelers can help provide financial coverage in these situations and much more. This way, an unexpected eligible reason doesn’t have to ruin your trip or your finances — or mean you need to cut-short your trip because you’re low on cash.
Does Travelex offer long-term travel insurance?
Yes — we can provide coverage for vacations up to 180 days* (yes, that’s about six months!) on our Ultimate plan. This plan is packed with our most inclusive and customizable coverage, so you’ll be getting more than just coverage for long trips.
Only traveling for one month? You can still choose our Ultimate plan if you want all the bells and whistles, but our Essential and Advantage plans might be more affordable options for trips up to 30 days long.
Looking for long-term travel medical insurance? You can choose our Ultimate plan for trips up to 180 days*, or our Travel Med Go plan, which can provide coverage for trips up to 60 days. Both plans offer additional benefits like trip interruption and baggage and personal effects coverage.
Think you only want flight coverage with your travel insurance for long-term travelers? Our Flight Insure and Flight Insure Plus plans can provide coverage for up to 180 days*. If you want a bit more than flight insurance, you’ll get a few extra benefits with Flight Insure Plus, like emergency medical expense and emergency evacuation coverage.

What are the benefits of Travelex’s long-term travel insurance?
Our long-term international travel insurance is packed with benefits you can depend on to help with a variety of unexpected costs. It’s also great for long domestic trips. Here are some of the main benefits:
Medical expense coverage
If you’re searching for long-term travel medical insurance, you can feel confident about our plans with emergency medical and dental expense, emergency evacuation, and accidental death and dismemberment coverage. Our Essential, Advantage, Ultimate, Travel Med Go, and Flight Insure Plus plans all offer different levels of medical coverage.
Why is this coverage so important? Your individual health insurance plan often doesn’t cover you outside of the U.S., and it may not even apply in certain states — meaning you could be paying your pricey medical bills on your own. Our long-term travel insurance can reimburse you for eligible expenses to give your wallet some relief.
Plus, our included 24/7 emergency assistance services can help you find a nearby doctor or schedule a telehealth appointment, arrange your emergency medical evacuation, and more.
Lost, stolen, delayed, or damaged luggage protection
Even when you're extra careful, there's still a risk your stuff could slip away while you’re on the move. And if something does happen to your belongings, it can derail your trip — leaving you without the essentials you need. Our long-term travel insurance could reimburse you for the cost to replace your items up to your plan’s maximum amount. This way, you could be supported with financial relief during a stressful situation.
Trip cancellation and interruption and travel delay coverage
Sometimes our vacations don’t run smoothly like we planned, whether a storm delays your flight or you get sick and need to cancel your trip. If you need to call off your trip or cut it short because of inclement weather, a serious injury, work-related reasons, and more, your Travelex policy can help provide coverage for eligible costs. Plus, if you’re delayed for at least five consecutive hours, we can also reimburse you for your eligible hotel stay, meals, and local transportation you need while you wait to continue your trip.
Helpful reminder: Our plans each offer unique benefits and coverage amounts. Visit our travel insurance plans page to learn more or call our award-winning customer service team at 1-800-228-9792 for questions about our long-term travel insurance.
Can Travelex extend my travel insurance coverage if I’m already on my trip and can’t return home as planned?
Yes, if you’re traveling with a Travelex policy, you can extend your coverage if you meet the following:
- The original policy you bought insured your entire original trip.
- Your return is delayed by unavoidable circumstances beyond your control.
If you meet the requirements, we can extend your coverage until either the date you return home or seven days after your original scheduled date of return. With the ability to extend your travel insurance coverage on a Travelex policy, we’re here for you if something goes wrong and your vacation lasts longer than you anticipated.
Does Travelex’s long-term travel insurance have upgrades?
Yes! We have up to nine optional upgrades available, so you can customize your coverage to suit your travel needs. Our Ultimate plan is our only plan will all nine upgrades available, so keep that in mind when you get a quote.
