Medical repatriation
An unexpected health issue while on the road is challenging enough, but being away from family support adds to the stress. Our plan includes travel coverage to get you home to loved ones, safe and sound.
Cancel for work reason
It’s just business savvy: If your travel is disrupted due to a change in business plans or other work demands, you can manage the cost of the unexpected trip changes through our cancellation coverage.
