When you pack your bags and embark on an adventure, anything can happen. That’s the fun of it! But for times when “anything can happen” means lost baggage, missed flights or health emergencies, there’s travel insurance.

Travel insurance policies were designed to help protect all types of travel — from weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime vacations. Different policies provide coverage for different issues when you travel abroad. You can get coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, lost or damaged baggage, flight insurance, emergency medical care or evacuation. You can purchase policies individually, or you can buy packages with broader protection.

People usually don’t realize that their health insurance card back home is not going to be accepted abroad. When the hospital staff shakes their heads, it’s cash up front or nothing. This happens more often than you think. Travelers assume their health insurance works overseas — but not every insurance plan will cover you for every destination and situation. If you’re planning a trip abroad and wondering, “Do I need travel insurance if I have health insurance?” The answer is… yes!

We offer two great plans. Travelex Travel Insurance and MedJet International Evacuation and Medical Insurance.

Travelex Insurance provides travel protection for many types of trips from a weekend-getaway to the luxury vacation. As a leading provider of travel insurance to the USA, Travelex is proud to have a 25-year history protecting people just like you. We offer two types of travel insurance plans.

Encountering the unexpected is often a part of travel; ranging from the inconvenient to a truly serious emergency. Travelex Insurance Services offers comprehensive travel protection coupled with extensive 24-hour emergency assistance services to meet the challenges of today’s travel and help you enjoy a worry-free trip.

PEACE OF MIND. Whether you lose your job, a hurricane blows through your destination, or your travel supplier declares bankruptcy, our comprehensive plan benefits help get you back on track and find the peace-of-mind your trip deserves.

CREDIT CARD SHORTFALLS. Chances are your credit card may not protect you in cases of travel delay, trip cancellation or emergency medical coverage overseas. These plans tend to have highly limited benefits – always do your research to ensure you’re fully protected.

TRAVEL INVESTMENT. You work hard for the money and time invested in planning your vacation. Unfortunately even the most careful preparation doesn’t avoid life’s surprises if you need to cancel or interrupt your trip. Purchasing a Travelex protection plan will help make sure you don’t walk away empty-handed.

MEDICAL EXPENSES. Ensure you’re covered if you see a doctor for a medical emergency while traveling. Your personal medical healthcare policy may offer limited coverage or none at all, once you travel outside the United States. Also, the plan may lower benefits or have deductibles when using an out-of-network doctor. Travelex has coverage for you – our plans will reimburse you for medical expenses from any doctor around the world when seen for a covered medical emergency.

EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION. Your health and safety is a concern of ours. If an emergency medical evacuation becomes necessary, we will transport you to an adequate facility to receive treatment. Additional benefits include transportation of a visitor of your choice to stay with you or to transport any traveling children back home, should you become hospitalized.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS. A trip to the beach isn’t much fun without a bathing suit. Travelex plans go above and beyond any homeowner’s insurance policy – not only refunding you for items lost, stolen or damaged, but reimbursing you for necessary items you need to buy and continue having fun on your trip until your baggage is returned.

TRAVEL ASSISTANCE AND CONCIERGE SERVICE. Don’t overlook this valuable component of each and every one of our insurance plans. Available 24/7, call us prior to departing for assistance or advice on planning your trip – from booking concert tickets to making dinner reservations or a tee time for golf. While traveling, one toll-free call gives you access to a variety of travel services such as medical emergency assistance and lost baggage retrieval.
