Preferred Travel Insurance Plan

A comprehensive travel plan with superb coverage and service from start to finish.

About the Preferred Plan

Our Preferred Plan is our most popular travel insurance plan, with a comprehensive suite of coverages designed to meet your needs. But we know travel insurance plans aren’t one-size-fits-all, so our Preferred Plan offers optional upgrades and coverage add-ons so that you can help ensure you have the travel insurance plan that’s best for you. From higher benefit limits for baggage coverage to pet coverage, you’ll be able to personalize your travel insurance plan. Plus, one of the best things about the Preferred Plan is that it comes with access to Travel Guard’s 24/7 emergency travel assistance – when travel plans go sideways someone will be there.

  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Variety of optional add-ons
