How we rate the plans

Best plans provide the highest benefit limits and the most extensive coverage of all plans. All of the best plans include a Cancel For Any Reason or similar benefit and may also include additional coverage such as rental car damage or pet medical. For persons wanting the most extensive coverage and willing to pay a few dollars more, a best plan will be the right choice.
Better plans provide higher benefit limits and substantially more coverage than good plans. Better plans provide a good combination of coverage and price, and fit the needs of most travelers.
Good plans have lower limits and more restrictive coverage than better or best plans. For example, some good plans may not cover pre-existing medical conditions or may not cover as many circumstances for trip interruption or cancellation. If you're looking for basic protection at an economical price, a good plan can be the right choice.

How to Compare Travel Insurance Plans

Travel insurance is a great way to give you peace of mind when you travel – both in the United States and abroad.

With many different travel insurance providers and a vast number of travel insurance plans to choose from including flight insurance, cruise insurance and travel health insurance, it can be confusing to find the right travel insurance policy. At TripInsurance, we make it easy to find a travel insurance plan that works for your specific needs and circumstances.

With our travel insurance comparison tool, you can compare plans, including their features and prices, to find a plan that best fits your insurance coverage needs – at the lowest cost!

Travel insurance also known as trip insurance provides coverage when you travel in the US or abroad, and offsets all or some of the financial risks associated with travelling, such as unexpected medical expenses, accidents, lost or stolen baggage, and any trip delays or interruptions.

Unless you’re going on a short trip within the US that doesn’t require a non-refundable deposit, you probably need trip insurance. Trip insurance is a way to protect the financial investment in your trip and make sure you have adequate coverage if an unexpected medical issue or a travel-related issue on your trip. Just a single issue on your trip can cost you thousands of dollars, which makes travel insurance well worth the cost.

Getting travel insurance is especially important if you or a family member has a higher risk of a medical issue that could lead you to cancel or interrupt your trip. Some destinations and activities also come with a higher risk of injury, illness, natural disasters, and political unrest. Your unique circumstances and the type of trip will help you decide what travel insurance coverage works for you.

Whether you’re travelling for a change in scenery, adventure, relaxation, or something else, travel insurance lets you enjoy your trip rather than worrying about what could go wrong.

Travel insurance is often sold as a package, a comprehensive plan that offers a combination of coverage. Sometimes, insurance companies allow you to put together a custom travel insurance policy.

With so many travel insurance features to choose from, what is the best way to go about comparing travel insurance plans?

When comparing travel insurance, you’ll need to keep in mind what your specific needs are, your destination and type of trip, and weighing the risks you’re willing to take with your travel insurance budget. You should also check whether you have existing travel insurance coverage, maybe on your credit card or through your health insurance plan, and what is covered under those existing plans.

Travel arrangements coverage can include all aspects of travelling from cancellations before your departure to delays and interruptions while travelling to your destination.

Trip cancellation insurance reimburses you for any pre-paid, non-refundable expenses if you have to cancel your trip due to illness or death or natural disasters. If your tour operator or cruise line goes out of business, trip cancellation would be able to cover the deposit or other pre-paid expenses in connection with your vacation.

Trip interruption coverage can reimburse you for the non-refundable, unused portion of your trip if it gets interrupted. Trip interruptions can happen due to an emergency evacuation after a natural disaster, political unrest, yours or a family member’s medical issue. Travel delay coverage pays for any expenses in connection with a delay or missed connection, such as hotel rooms and meals.

Tips for Comparing Trip Cancellation Coverage:

  • Compare the conditions of when the insurance companies cover cancellations, delays and interruptions. Some companies cover cancellations if there has been a recent terrorist attack or an outbreak of a disease at your destination, but others don’t.
  • Some insurance companies offer all-encompassing trip cancellation policies at an extra cost, so you can cancel for any reason and still get imbursed. You will often need to buy this extra coverage within a certain time period after making the initial trip deposit.
  • Note that trip cancellation insurance is different from cancellation waivers sometimes offered by cruise or tour operators, which are much more limited in their coverage.
  • Compare the maximum daily limits and trip costs that can be reimbursed in the policies.

Medical travel insurance covers emergency medical expenses if you fall ill or get into an accident while you’re on your trip. Emergency dental, emergency medical evacuation (transport to the nearest hospital), and medical repatriation (transportation to your home). Even if you have health insurance, your existing insurance might not give adequate medical coverage on your trip. Another benefit of buying medical travel insurance is that you typically don’t have to pay deductibles.

Accidental death and dismemberment coverage is similar to life insurance and pays a lump sum to your family or other beneficiaries if you die in an accident during your trip. Some policies will also pay out a sum if you become disabled as a result of an accident during your trip. Other insurance plans only apply to accidental death in the plane – remember to check the details of the insurance plans you’re considering.

Major medical insurance is coverage if you will be away on your trip for several months or more and need medical care while you’re away. Check with your health insurance to see how you’re covered for international travel, the limits, deductions, co-payments, and other conditions that may apply that affect the overall costs.

Tips for Comparing Medical Coverage:

  • If relevant for you, check to see if the policy covers pre-existing conditions. Also, note that death due to a pre-existing medical condition is usually not covered by accidental death and dismemberment coverage.
  • Note that Medicare and Medicaid do not provide coverage outside the US
  • Check coverage and limits for big-ticket medical expenses such as medical emergency evacuation.
  • Look for a plan where the insurance provider makes payments directly to the hospital or medical service provider, so you don’t have to foot a large medical bill.
  • If you are planning on taking part in any sport and adventure activities, such as skydiving, skiing, or an organized sporting event, check to see if you need additional medical travel insurance coverage.
  • If you’re bringing pets on your trip, consider buying a plan that covers pet medical expenses.

Some travel insurance plans cover damage to your rental car, your hotel room or other accommodation, and accidents and damages in connection with any sports activities.

For younger or active travellers, activity coverage is an excellent option to ensure you have the right coverage for all the fun things you plan to do on your trip. Not only does sports coverage cover medical expenses if you get injured while taking part in organized sporting events and adventure sports such as skydiving, but your sports equipment is typically also covered. Depending on the specific activities you’re planning to do, check the insurance coverage.

Tips for Comparing Activity Coverage:

  • Check whether your car insurance covers rental cars for the country you’re travelling to. US car insurance companies usually don’t cover rental cars outside the USA and Canada.
  • If you are renting a car, check with them in advance about what their insurance options are, so you don’t have to rush through the policy in the airport or rental office.

Travel insurance coverage for baggage and personal belongings will reimburse you if your baggage is damaged, stolen, or lost during your trip. Some policies also cover expenses in connection with a baggage delay, but there is often a minimum delay time required before this type of coverage applies.

Tips for Comparing Baggage Coverage:

  • Check each policy to determine the reimbursement limit. There is typically a limit to how much you can be reimbursed per person, item, and type of item. This limit is especially important if you’re travelling with valuable items such as jewellery and cameras.
  • Check your renters or home insurance to see if you have any coverage for personal items. Note what the deductible (the amount you have to pay before the insurance kicks in) is for claims.

Many travel insurance plans offer additional services that can make a big difference in your travel insurance experience. Before you buy travel insurance for your next trip, check that the travel insurance company offers 24-hour travel assistance for issues during your trip.

24-hour assistance is especially important for international travel where the time difference might make it difficult to get in touch with the insurance company during regular office hours. The 24-hour travel insurance might include services such as help with replacing lost prescription medicine, coordinating care in a medical emergency, language interpretation services, and help with replacing passports and other travel documents.

Some travel insurance plans also include concierge services that can help connect you with local experiences and services such as providing restaurant recommendations, book tickets and make reservations for local entertainment or sporting events, and other assistance services.

Tips for Comparing Additional Coverage:

  • Some travel insurance plans also provide helpful support and information before you go on your trip, such as information on vaccinations, visas, or travel health.
  • If you are going on a business trip or are working while travelling, some plans also provide business assistance services.

Comparing travel insurance plans is, of course, the key to finding good travel insurance, but don’t forget to consider the travel insurance company itself.

You want to make sure you choose a travel insurance company that is reputable and has great customer service, a good track record for handling claims, and can help you before, during, and after your trip.

To find an insurance provider you can trust, look for reviews and accreditations to gauge how the travel insurance company stacks up.

Tips for Comparing Travel Insurance Companies:

  • Look at reviews and testimonials on the website and other review websites.
  • Make sure the company is accredited with the Better Business Bureau and what its BBB rating is.
  • Look for the word ‘insurance’ rather than ‘travel protection’ and ‘travel assistance’. If the company is not an actual insurance provider, it is not subject to the same regulation.

Buying travel insurance shouldn’t be an afterthought to your travel planning. Finding the best insurance plan for your trip depends on your specific trip and circumstances. It is worth it to spend some time researching and comparing the different trip insurance plan options, so you can travel confidently, knowing you are prepared for any unexpected issue. Travel Insurance is the best way to protect the financial investment in your trip.
