Here's what you get with our on-trip New York travel insurance plans
Some travelers book last minute. Others just want coverage that starts from takeoff, not from the moment they pay for their trip.

Scroll through the table below to see what this plan includes and how it can support you while you're in New York.
Before you buy: Remember, we can’t offer coverage for your NY trip if you’re traveling fewer than 100 miles from your home. So, double check you’re going far enough to qualify. Want more information? You’ll find it in the Description of Coverage (DoC) document for each plan, which you can access when you get a quote online.

From fender benders around city traffic to an unexpected break-in while parked Upstate, our rental coverage can reimburse you for eligible repair bills — so you have extra confidence and fewer worries while driving New York roads.
Important: Our rental car damage upgrade only offers coverage for standard rental cars, so you won’t have coverage if you rent a moped, scooter, or another type of vehicle.
Yes, whether you plan a quick detour to New Jersey or another U.S. state, Canada for sightseeing, or Europe to explore historic landmarks, we can offer coverage as long as you’re not visiting an OFAC-sanctioned country or one of our blocked destinations.
When starting your travel insurance quote, the destination you choose should be the location where you’ll spend the majority of your time. For instance, if you’re staying in New York for a week and making a two-day trip to the Bahamas before heading back, you should list New York as your primary destination.
Absolutely! Whether it’s a dinner cruise around Manhattan or a luxurious cruise docking in the Hamptons, our cruise travel insurance offers coverage for itinerary changes, cancellations, missed cruise connections, and more.
