Travelex: Great Travel Insurance at the Right Price

What does travel insurance cover?

Travelex travel insurance can cover a wide variety of incidents, mishaps, and activities. Dependent on which plan you choose, you can receive coverage for trip delays, trip cancellations, delayed baggage, adventure sports, and more.

Travel insurance can also provide coverage for emergency medical expenses to help pay for expensive medical bills should you sustain an injury or get sick during the trip. That way you won’t need to pay out of pocket for costly medical expenses or evacuation to a hospital.

Which plan should I choose?

The travel insurance plan that’s best for you depends on your trip type. While all of Travelex’s plans can provide a certain level of protection for almost any trip, variables such as the destination, trip length, and activities you plan to engage in while traveling will all determine which plan would suit you best.

Additionally, if you’re looking for a plan with increased medical coverage and a larger variety of upgrades, the Travel Select plan provides comprehensive protection whereas the Travel Basic plan offers essential coverage at a budget-conscious price.

How do I calculate my trip cost?

Your trip cost will include all pre-paid, non-refundable expenses. When calculating trip cost, be sure to keep receipts of all travel purchases such as train and/or flight tickets, hotel fees, tour guide costs, and more. The total of these expenses will amount to your trip cost.

If your travel plans include additional travelers, be sure to accurately detail how much each individual traveler has paid for the upcoming trip. This number will account for the “Trip Cost”. If costs are split among travelers - for example, a $300 shared hotel room where each of the three travelers pays $100 - then the individual trip cost would amount to the individual’s share.

Can I get travel insurance for an existing medical condition?

Yes, coverage is available if you purchase the plan within 3 days of your final payment for the Travel America plan, or 15 days for the Travel Select plan, of your initial trip payment. Additional requirements vary per plan.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

If you need to cancel your trip due to an unforeseen incident or mishap, Travelex can provide travel insurance coverage. You are able to cancel a trip up to the date and time of departure as long as the reason for cancellation is addressed and covered within your Policy Documents.

Reasons include, but are not limited to: serious injury, sickness, or death, you are laid off or involuntarily terminated from work, you are required to work during your scheduled trip, a flight is canceled due to inclement weather, or there is a terrorist incident in a city listed within your travel itinerary.

When should I buy travel insurance?

While you are able to buy travel insurance up to the day of your departure, it is recommended that you purchase a policy at least a few weeks in advance of your trip.

If you purchase the Travel Select plan within 15 days of your initial trip payment, you will have access to the pre-existing condition exclusion waiver. Additionally, for both Travel Basic and Travel Select, Travelex offers a 15-day look period in case you change your mind concerning your policy purchase and would like a refund.

This means that if within 15 days of purchase you are not satisfied with your plan, and have not yet departed or filed a claim, Travelex will refund your plan cost.
