for the Dominican Replublic?
See how travel insurance supports your visit to the island.
Travel insurance isn’t mandatory for entry to the Dominican Republic — but it’s recommended. Whether you're lounging in Punta Cana, exploring historic Santo Domingo, or heading inland for an adventure, unexpected events can happen.
From getting sick after trying street food to losing your luggage at the airport, the right travel insurance can help protect your trip and your finances. With our coverage, we can provide you extra support for medical care, delays, and more — so you can enjoy your time in the Dominican without the "what ifs."
It’s important to do what you can to stay safe while in the Dominican Republic, including checking the U.S. Department of State's travel advisories website for any travel concerns before leaving and while you’re on your trip.
Travel advisories can affect your travel insurance coverage, so continue checking our travel alerts page, where there may be updates about events that can impact your policy. You can also receive up-to-date safety notifications based on your location in the Dominican Republic when you access our Travel On app as a Travelex policyholder.
Even if your Dominican Republic vacation plans only involve soaking up the sun on the white-sand beaches, don't forget to consider securing your trip investment with travel insurance — it's essential for every kind of trip.
Travel insurance for Dominican Republic getaways can help not only with the cost of urgent medical issues, but also delayed flights, missing suitcases, and even prepaid tours that are canceled because of severe weather.
Even if your cruise leaves from a U.S. port, cruise travel insurance can come in handy when you plan to set sail.
How? If you get food poisoning after dinner on the ship, accidentally drop your camera overboard, or miss a connecting flight, we can provide financial relief and assistance to help you get back on track.
Our rental car damage upgrade is available as an optional addition to our Ultimate, Advantage, Essential, and Travel Med Go plans. It can help reimburse expenses if you cross paths with an unanticipated incident that causes damage to your rental car. Learn more about the upgrade on our road trip travel insurance page.
Important: While this upgrade can help if things like collision or flood damage occurs to your auto rental, it doesn’t offer coverage for motorcycle or moped use whether as a driver or passenger.
While scuba diving in Bayahibe and kayaking through a cave in Cabarete are sure to be thrilling, they also heighten the chance of something unforeseen going wrong. Before you finalize your travel insurance for your Dominican Republic trip, make sure that your policy offers coverage for the adventure activities you plan to try on your trip.
A plus side of our plans is they offer coverage for specific adventure activities, such as hiking, kayaking, river rafting, snorkeling, and horseback riding.
Think you may get more adventurous than the activities that are included in the base plans? Consider incorporating our adventure activities upgrade into your policy. This upgrade can offer coverage for adventure activities excluded from coverage under our base plans, like canyoning and scuba diving deeper than 75 feet.
Want to learn more about our adventure activities upgrade or see if it’s a benefit you should include in your policy? You can contact our award-winning customer service team to answer your questions at 1-800-228-9792.
You never know what could take place that causes you to have to cancel your trip to the Dominican Republic, and it can be unnerving to consider the possibility of losing the money you spent on your vacation.
Before you depart, you may want to look into our cancel for any reason upgrade* as a supplement to our Ultimate plan. This upgrade gives you the freedom to cancel your trip — no matter what your reasoning is — up to 48 hours before your trip is scheduled to start. We may then help provide relief with reimbursement of 75% of your insured vacation expenses (up to $7,500).
To get cancel for any reason coverage, you must:
Insure all nonrefundable trip payments (with a limit of $10,000) when you buy your travel insurance plan.
Buy the cancel for any reason upgrade at least 31 days before your departure date, with your initial policy, and within 21 days of your first payment for your vacation.
Insure any additional arrangements within 14 days of booking those arrangements.
*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for NY residents.
You can get travel insurance for your whole trip if you're visiting more than one country, provided you’re not visiting a blocked destination that we don't offer coverage for.
When you complete a travel insurance quote for your trip, input the destination as the country you’ll be in for most of the vacation. For instance, if you arranged to stay in Puerto Rico for four days and the Dominican Republic for six days, you should list the Dominican Republic as your destination for your travel insurance quote.
A thorough travel insurance plan from a dedicated provider like Travelex can deliver broader protection — including potential coverage for pre-existing health issues — and help you feel more supported during your vacation.
Most U.S. health insurance plans don’t cover you once you leave the country — and that includes the Dominican Republic. Even if you do have some emergency coverage, it likely won’t help with things like medical evacuation or finding local care.
That’s where we come in. If you're looking for travel health insurance in the Dominican Republic, our travel insurance offers emergency medical benefits and 24/7 travel assistance to help you get the care you need while you're abroad.
If you need medical treatment while in the Dominican Republic, don’t worry — we’re here to help. Just contact our 24/7 emergency assistance provider. They can guide you to a local medical provider, help coordinate your care, and even assist with payments or translations if needed. Whether it’s a minor injury or something more serious, they're just a phone call away.
Hurricane season is real — especially in the Dominican Republic, where weather can shift quickly from sunshine to storm. Our Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential plans include benefits that may help if a covered hurricane or severe weather event leads to trip cancellations, delays, or interruptions. Whether you're rebooking flights, cutting your trip short, or stuck waiting out the rain, these plans are designed to help protect your plans and your non-refundable costs.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you may be wondering if it could impact your trip to the Dominican Republic. Our Ultimate plan offers coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, as long as you:
Purchase the plan within 21 days of your initial trip payment.
Are medically fit for travel at the time of purchase.
Insure all subsequent travel arrangements within 21 days of their purchase.
This way, you can explore the beaches, jungles, and cities of the Dominican Republic with added support in place.
The best time to purchase travel health insurance for the Dominican Republic with emergency medical benefits is right after you book your trip. That way, you’ll get access to the full range of benefits — including time-sensitive ones like the pre-existing condition waiver (available with our Ultimate plan if purchased within 21 days of your initial trip deposit). The sooner you buy, the more you can protect with our comprehensive plans (Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential) — from covered cancellations to interruptions that could arise before you even take off.
