What is travel insurance with trip cancellation?
Trip cancellation coverage is like a vacation safety net — it can help cover your insured trip cost if you need to cancel your trip before you’ve left home. When you cancel for a reason your policy covers, travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage can help soften the financial blow when you can’t take your trip. Tip: Consider buying travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage as soon as you pay for any of part of your trip, like your flights or accommodations. This coverage protects your insured trip cost if you can’t go on your vacation for an eligible reason, so the earlier you purchase a policy the longer you’ll be protected. When comparing our travel insurance plans, knowing your total trip cost will help you figure out which plan offers the amount of cancellation coverage you need.
What is emergency medical travel insurance?
Travel insurance that includes medical coverage (and dental in some cases) can help ensure you’re not left with big bills to pay if you need emergency medical help. A visit to the doctor or hospital often comes at a high cost — especially if you’re in a different country. At Travelex, we’re here to help you when you need it most. That’s why we include coverage for unexpected medical and dental costs in most of our plans, plus access to 24/7 assistance. If you travel with our emergency medical travel insurance, we can reimburse your unexpected doctor or hospital bills. This way, you won’t be footing the bill on your own long-term.

They can even help you schedule your nearby doctor appointment or a telehealth appointment with a physician if you need one to get the help you need. They’ll stay in contact with your physician to help arrange your care, and they can even keep your family updated until you’re ready to travel again. If you need hospital admission, our medical travel assistance team at Zurich Travel Assist can help with payment arrangements.
