Volcano

03.26.26

Volcanic eruption can cause travel disruptions that impact your vacation. With a Travelex plan, you could have coverage for unforeseeable volcano events — meaning your plan was effective before the volcano was announced.

If you purchased your plan prior to the volcano event’s foreseeable date shown below, you may be eligible for coverage. Please check your confirmation of coverage and policy wording to understand your coverage, as each of our plans can differ.

Events listed on this page will reflect the past six months. Any events outside of that timeframe can be located on the archive page.

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.

Depending on your destination, you may still be eligible for other types of coverage. Please check our blocked destinations page to see whether your destination is eligible for coverage.

Travel supplier

03.23.26

Travel suppliers in or at risk for financial insolvency

In unstable economic times, travel suppliers can experience financial issues, causing some suppliers to partially or completely suspend their operations. Because of this, it’s important to consider purchasing travel insurance with financial default/financial insolvency coverage.

Some of our Travelex plans sold on or after December 4, 2024 provide coverage for financial default occurring more than 14 days following your effective date for the trip cancellation benefit. You must have paid for your plan within 21 days of your initial trip payment and before the financial default event’s foreseeable date to be eligible for coverage.

If you purchased your Travelex plan on or before December 3, 2024, please check your confirmation of coverage and policy wording for coverage details.

The suppliers listed below have either defaulted or are at risk for financial default with foreseeable dates as indicated below. We’re still accepting enrollments for these suppliers, but plans purchased after the listed foreseeable date will not include financial default coverage.

Events listed on this page will reflect the past two years. Any events outside of that timeframe can be located on the archive page.
