International Travel Insurance

Understand the importance of an international travel insurance plan for your next overseas vacation and make sure you’re covered with the right Travel Guard plan.

International travel insurance is travel insurance designed to cover you while you are traveling out of country. From Mexico to Morocco, there are plans to cover your international vacation destination. Often travel insurance plans designed for international travel will have higher benefit limits and additional coverages because of the increased expenses that often come with traveling internationally.

One of the most important things to consider while looking for international travel insurance is medical expense coverage. Your U.S. health plan may not cover you while you’re traveling internationally. Having medical expense coverage and any necessary medical transport expense coverage is invaluable if you find yourself with a sprained ankle or a sudden sickness abroad.

What is international travel insurance?

International travel insurance provides travelers with coverage around the globe. International travel insurance plans often have higher coverage limits to account for the increased cost of international travel. Otherwise, international travel insurance works just the same as most domestic travel insurance plans – covering you in case of certain unexpected costs while traveling. Our article on how travel insurance works has more details on how to use your travel insurance plan.

What does international travel insurance cover?

Do I need international travel insurance?

For any vacation it’s smart to cover your travel investment, but it’s even more important with an international trip.

All of Travel Guard’s travel insurance plans come with access to our specially trained representatives for 24/7 emergency travel assistance.

Which Travel Guard insurance plan is best for my international trip?

Travel Guard’s Deluxe Plan is a great option for international travelers because it has higher benefit limits and additional coverage options to cover your international vacation. With optional add-ons like cancel for any reason or Travel Guard’s rental vehicle damage coverage you can create the plan to fit your needs.

Does my U.S. health insurance cover international travel?

Your U.S. health insurance plan may not cover you while traveling abroad. It’s important to have travel medical expense coverage while traveling internationally for this reason (and some countries even require it). Having access to specially trained representatives who are experienced in assisting international travelers is a valuable benefit to your international travel insurance plan, so you won’t be left to navigate travel mishaps alone.

Which Travel Guard insurance plan is best for seniors traveling internationally?

Travel Guard’s Deluxe Plan includes our highest coverage limits for both travel medical expense and emergency evacuation, which can be a huge help for traveling seniors. If you purchase your Travel Guard travel insurance plan within 15 days of your initial trip payment, you’ll also have early purchase benefits which include our pre-existing medical condition exclusion waiver – which makes it possible to be covered for certain medical expenses on your trip despite your pre-existing medical conditions.

Reviews and Testimonials

"I had a great experience with Travel Guard. It was my first time out of the United States and being sick and alone was not a good feeling. Travel Guard assisted me so quickly and it really felt like they did everything they could for me! Once I found out I could find a flight home, I think I started crying on the phone because I was so happy that someone could help me. I am so glad that I decided to purchase the insurance plan and always will advise anyone to purchase a travel insurance plan from Travel Guard on their next trip."
