Want to know more about our comprehensive travel insurance?

We’re here to help you understand the ins and outs of our inclusive coverage.

Comprehensive travel insurance has a broad range of benefits. It can cover a variety of situations that may come up while traveling, making it a more inclusive option for travelers looking for extensive coverage. Our comprehensive plans — Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential — offer a variety of benefits, from trip interruption to emergency medical expenses. We designed them to help protect you from a wider range of unexpected costs before and during your trip.

Unlike our on-trip and flight plans, our comprehensive travel insurance offers trip cancellation coverage that starts the day after you purchase your policy. With coverage before you leave home and while you’re traveling, you can be better protected even if you can’t go on your vacation.

Our Ultimate plan does more than just help protect you from common travel hiccups like delays, cancellations, illnesses, or injuries. Its extra benefits, higher limits, and all nine optional upgrades can give you extra confidence while traveling — especially if you’ve invested a lot in your vacation or are planning unique activities.

What else does our comprehensive travel insurance cover? Our Ultimate plan comes with support from our emergency assistance provider, available 24/7 via our Travel On app and assistance line.

Our Ultimate plan offers the same benefits as our other comprehensive plans — Advantage and Essential — plus much more.

With Ultimate, you can insure a higher trip cost and longer trip length, meaning you can get more money back for certain eligible expenses.

Here are some benefits available only with our Ultimate plan, which make it our best comprehensive travel insurance:

  • Kids-included pricing: Ultimate's comprehensive travel insurance includes coverage for one child 17 or younger per each insured adult traveler, making it a great option for family travel insurance (The child's trip cost must be the same or less than the adult's individual trip cost for coverage to apply. If you add upgrades to your policy, we'll charge each traveler for the upgrade premium.)
  • Trip inconvenience: If closed attractions, a closed beach, or cruise disablement interrupt your trip, you can receive a one-time payment up to $200.
  • Waiver of the pre-existing condition exclusion: You can have coverage for your pre-existing medical conditions with our Ultimate plan. To get the waiver, buy our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip payment, insure your total trip cost, and be medically fit to travel at the time of purchase.
  • Nine optional upgrades: Exclusive to our Ultimate plan, you can choose to add our cancel for any reason, cancel for business reasons, and medical upgrades to your policy. Plus, we have six other upgrades available, so you can tailor your policy to the vacation you planned.

It can! Our Ultimate plan offers a waiver for the pre-existing medical condition exclusion, but you need to act fast to be eligible!

To qualify, you must:

  • Purchase the plan within 21 days of your initial trip payment.
  • Insure the full cost of your trip.
  • Be medically fit to travel at the time of purchase.

If you meet all requirements, Ultimate can help ensure you have coverage if your chronic health issues interfere with your trip.

Yes! Our Ultimate plan includes comprehensive cruise travel insurance so you can set sail with extra support.

Here are some ways Ultimate can help while you’re on a cruise:

  • If a flight delay causes you to miss the ship: Ultimate’s missed connection benefit can help you catch up to your floating paradise.
  • If you don’t feel well onboard: The plan’s emergency medical expense and evacuation benefits can help ensure you get the care you need, even if you’re out at sea.
  • If your cruise gets cut short: Our comprehensive cruise travel insurance can help with the costs for the parts of your trip you didn’t get to enjoy.

Our Ultimate Plan is ready to handle some serious travel budgets, with trip cancellation benefits extending up to $50,000 per person and a whopping $200,000 in total for all travelers on the same policy. Whether you’re planning a luxury cruise or a multi-country escapade, this plan is built to help keep your travel dreams on course.

Yes, it does! We include primary coverage with our Ultimate plan so you don’t have to juggle claims with your existing health insurance if you need medical care on vacation.

With up to $250,000 for emergency medical expenses and $1,000,000 for medical evacuation, our Ultimate plan helps you handle unexpected medical needs while you’re exploring the world.

Absolutely! Our Ultimate plan comes with a 21-day free look period (30 days in some states), giving you time to review the details.

If you decide it’s not the right fit and haven’t started your trip or filed a claim, you can cancel within this window and we can refund your premium.

It’s like a no-strings-attached trial for your travel protection — but it can pay off to keep your plan for your vacation!

If you need to cancel your trip, timing is everything. For standard trip cancellation benefits, you’ll need to cancel before your scheduled departure.

However, if you’ve added the cancel for any reason upgrade, you can cancel up to two days before departure and still recoup a portion of your trip costs. It’s flexibility designed for the unpredictable nature of travel.

There’s no “one price fits all” when it comes to travel insurance. The cost of your coverage depends on a few key details, like:

  • Where you live
  • Your age
  • How much your trip costs

It’s quick and easy to find out how much your comprehensive travel insurance costs with a free quote. Just head to the top of this page and pop in your trip destination to get started.
