Travel insurance is purchased by travelers to cover unforeseen health/medical problems while outside the scope of their personal insurance coverage.
Package is the most popular type of travel insurance. Package plans are designed specifically for a single trip. They are ideal for cruises, tours, air trips, vacation home rentals, whether foreign, domestic, or for leisure or business travel.
This type of plan is pre-bundled by the insurance company and provides a wide range of travel coverage such as:
trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, baggage and personal effects, baggage delay, emergency evacuation, travelers assistance and medical expense.
Medical travel plans are specifically designed to provide medical coverage while you are on your trip. Many group and individual health insurance plans either don't cover you outside your coverage area or will restrict coverage to emergencies only. We strongly recommend that you call your health insurance provider to determine what you will be covered for before deciding on the amount of coverage to buy.
Medical Evacuation/Repatriation are travel plans that either include or have been specifically designed for medical evacuation/repatriation coverage. This coverage is designed to evacuate a seriously ill or injured client to the nearest medical facility and, in some cases, then back home.
