More about our protection plan
By investing in an International Travel Medical Plus plan, you are ensuring that you have help in unexpected situations, with backup from our 24/7 Emergency Response Center just a phone call away.
Accident and sickness
An unexpected illness or unfortunate injury does more than disrupt a trip. Without proper coverage, you might have difficulties finding the right care and you will be responsible for medical costs. With our plan, we've got you covered.
Medical evacuation
Whether you’re injured during a trip or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, you might need emergency help to get to proper care. Our experts coordinate medical evacuation for worst-case scenarios.
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.
Baggage delay or loss
Lost your luggage — just for a day or two, or for good? We make replacing those everyday essentials easy with no-hassle coverage to reimburse you for replacement items including clothing, toiletries and more.

Be covered for last-minute changes with a plan that ensures that every leg of your trip has a backup plan, whether it’s a delayed flight that creates a missed connection or a canceled tour at your destination.
Interrupted trip? You’re covered
