What Are Travel Protection and Travel Insurance?

According to the US Travel Insurance Association, more than 152 million Americans were covered by travel protection in 2020. They spent more than $2.2 billion. Insurance policies that include trip cancellation and interruption benefits account for more than 85 percent of the travel protection products purchased. Travel and medical evacuation products account for 7 percent of the policies sold. Travel suppliers — travel agencies, cruise lines, and tour operators — account for more than half of all travel insurance policies sold.

Do I Need Travel Insurance or Trip Protection

Travel insurance is an actual insurance product underwritten by large insurance companies and regulated by state insurance agencies. But trip protection plans were much riskier propositions and could be full of exclusions. A trip protection plan might only cover a portion of the trip and not reimburse you for a cancellation but instead issue you a credit for future travel.

Travel Protection

Travel protection comprises insurance coverage and assistance services that safeguard the consumer before, during, and after the trip. Although many travelers prefer not to think about such things, the truth of the matter is that accidents, emergencies, and unforeseen circumstances can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. And they do. Having travel insurance can give you peace of mind by protecting your investment, health, and belongings. Travel insurance can protect your health and well-being, and can save you considerable extra expense should anything go awry before, during, or after their trip.

Travel Insurance

In general, travel insurance can

• Protect you’re your travel investment if something goes wrong due to illness, weather or other unforeseen circumstances

• Provide 24-hour emergency medical referral and assistance during travel (including medical evacuation)

• Reimburse unexpected travel expenses that you may incur due to an emergency

• Protect you during a medical emergency

• Provide medical assistance for you abroad
