War
At Travelex, we are unable to provide coverage for losses caused by an act of war, declared or undeclared.
Due to military actions in the region, the U.S. Department of State has strongly urged United States citizens to leave the destinations listed below. As of the effective date below, if you travel to these locations, you will not have coverage for any war‑related losses.
