Want to know more about our travel insurance for Texas?

Get to know how our domestic travel insurance works and how it can help protect you, your plans, and your budget.

Staying informed in the Lone Star State is simple with our Travel On app. It delivers real-time travel safety alerts based on your location — so whether it’s a hurricane along the Gulf Coast, flash flooding near Austin, or icy roads in North Texas, you’ll know what’s happening and can adjust plans quickly.

We also recommend checking official resources like the Texas Department of Transportation for road updates and the National Weather Service for severe weather alerts. That way, you’re always prepared to keep your Texas trip on track.

 

It can still be a smart choice to get domestic travel insurance. While your health insurance may cover medical care in Texas, it usually doesn’t include benefits like trip cancellation, baggage loss, rental car damage, or travel delay coverage.

For example, if severe weather cancels your flight out of Houston, your luggage is lost on the way to Austin, or your Hill Country road trip gets cut short, domestic coverage can help reimburse eligible costs and give you added protection beyond just medical care.

Even on a guided trip, unexpected issues like weather delays, lost baggage, or personal emergencies can happen. Our travel insurance for Texas can help protect your finances from trip interruptions, medical expenses, and more — even while you’re on an organized itinerary.

Whether you’re on a guided tour of the Alamo in San Antonio, a bus trip to the Houston Rodeo, or a group hike through Big Bend National Park, having a safety net for unanticipated challenges is essential.

While your credit card may include some travel benefits, they often don’t go far enough. Credit card coverage usually doesn’t extend to big-ticket costs — like emergency medical care if you get hurt while hiking in Big Bend or severe weather canceling your Houston flight. It also may not include extras like trip interruption, lost baggage reimbursement, or the option to cancel for any reason.

Think of it this way: your credit card might offer a quick safety net, but our dedicated travel insurance for Texas can give you full protection — with benefits and optional upgrades that can help keep your budget and plans on track.

Whether you’re tubing the Guadalupe River, hiking the trails of Big Bend National Park, or bike-riding through Hill Country, our base plans include coverage for many recreational activities.

If you’re planning more extreme adventures — like outdoor rock climbing in Hueco Tanks, Class 4 whitewater rafting on the Rio Grande, or skydiving near Dallas — you can add our adventure activities upgrade to the Ultimate, Advantage, Essential, or Travel Med Go plan.

Always check with our team to confirm that your specific activity is eligible for coverage before you go — better safe than sorry when it comes to bungee jumps or high-risk outings across the Lone Star State.

You can. If unforeseen circumstances — like an illness, a family emergency, or severe weather such as a Gulf Coast hurricane — force you to cancel your Texas trip, our Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential plans provide trip cancellation coverage for eligible reasons.

Want the freedom to cancel for any reason and recover up to 75% of your insured trip cost? You can with our cancel for any reason* upgrade, available exclusively with our Ultimate plan, as long as you cancel two or more days before your scheduled departure.

To use this upgrade, you’ll need to purchase it within 21 days of your first trip payment and no less than 31 days before departure. You’ll also need to insure the full value of your prepaid, nonrefundable expenses, up to a maximum of $10,000 per person, to be eligible.

*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for NY residents. 

They can be eligible for coverage with our domestic travel insurance — if you qualify for our pre-existing condition exclusion waiver with the Ultimate plan. To be eligible, you must:

  • Purchase the Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip payment.
  • Insure any subsequent travel arrangements within 21 days of their purchase.
  • Be medically able to travel at the time you buy the plan.

The waiver applies to conditions diagnosed, treated, or requiring a medication change in the 90 days before you purchased coverage. This can be especially valuable if you’re planning a Texas trip while managing an ongoing health condition.

The earlier, the better. Buying travel insurance soon after your first trip payment — whether that’s for flights into Dallas, a Hill Country vacation rental, or Houston Rodeo tickets — gives you the broadest protection. That includes trip cancellation benefits, which apply even before your departure.

Some optional upgrades, like cancel for any reason, are only available if you purchase within 21 days of your initial booking and at least 31 days before you travel. So, if you want maximum flexibility for your Texas trip, it’s smart not to wait.

You can! If you’re planning to rent a standard car for a Texas road trip, our rental car damage upgrade can help with eligible costs from theft or accidental collisions.

Many travelers drive through Hill Country, along the Gulf Coast, or out to Big Bend National Park. Just keep in mind that our rental car damage upgrade only applies to standard cars. Specialty vehicles — like RVs or off-road vehicles — aren’t eligible for coverage. If you’re planning to rent one of those, check with the rental agency about add-on insurance options.

Whether you’re spending most of your time in Houston, road-tripping across Texas and nearby states, or adding an international stop before or after, our travel insurance applies across your whole trip — unless you travel to one of our blocked destinations with heightened risks, safety concerns, or restrictions.

When you get a quote, select the place where you’ll spend the most time. For example, if you’ll be in Texas for a week with shorter visits to Louisiana and Mexico, list “USA” as your destination to make sure your coverage applies throughout.

The cost of travel insurance for Texas depends on factors like your trip cost, trip length, traveler ages, and the level of coverage you choose. For instance, insuring a long road trip across the Lone Star State will usually cost more than a quick weekend in Houston or Austin. Optional upgrades — such as rental car damage, adventure activities, or cancel for any reason — can also affect your price.
