Summer Road Trip

If an epic summer road trip is in your plans, you can treat it like any other vacation when it comes to travel insurance. The only difference is that it is in a car rather than a plane, ship, or train.

While standard auto insurance covers your vehicle if you are in a car accident, your car is stolen or damaged, etc., travel insurance for road trips protects you and the investment made in your road trip.

Travel insurance could reimburse you if, for example, a car accident causes you to have to cut your trip short and cancel prepaid, non-refundable event tickets, hotel stays, vacation rentals, or anything else associated with your trip.

If you are renting a car rather than putting miles on your own, you should look for a plan with benefits for rental car damage that can reimburse you for the cost of repairs and any rental charges imposed by the rental company while the car is being repaired.

Safe Travels Explorer is a budget-friendly travel insurance option perfect for road trips:

  • Trip Cancellation and Interruption
  • Emergency Medical
  • Property Damage coverage available for accommodations
  • Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation
  • Lost Baggage
  • Trip Delay
  • Optional Rental Car Damage coverage
  • Pre-Existing medical condition waiver available
  • Optional - Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) available in most states

Vacation Rental
Vacation Rental Insurance

Staying at a vacation rental, like Airbnb or VRBO? Look for a plan that covers all travelers booked to stay at the vacation rental and provides coverage for unintentional damage to your accommodations.

The travel insurance plan should also offer coverage in case you have to cancel due to sickness, injury, or death of a traveler or non-traveling family member; reimbursement if your accommodations are made uninhabitable; or inclement weather that causes road closure.

Safe Travels Rental Plus is your best bet for vacation rental insurance. It provides the following:

  • Rental Property Damage Liability
  • Trip cancellation
  • Trip interruption
  • Trip delay
  • Emergency Medical
  • Pre-Existing medical condition waiver available

International Travel

For international travel, whether you are coming to the U.S. from another country or traveling from the U.S. to another country, it is essential to have a travel insurance plan with travel medical benefits.

Many health insurance plans stop covering you or provide limited coverage when you leave your home country, so if you travel internationally without travel medical insurance, you could be stuck footing the bill if you seek emergency medical or dental care.

Make sure the plan you select is right for you based on where you travel from and to. There are travel medical plans for outside of the U.S. and travel medical and trip cancellation plans for U.S. citizens.

If you are a non-U.S. Citizen:

If you are a U.S. Resident or Citizen:

  • Safe Travels Outbound is a travel medical plan for U.S. citizens traveling outside the U.S.
  • Trip Cancellation plans are comprehensive travel insurance plans for U.S. citizens and residents that include travel medical and robust coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage delay, and more.
