What can I do if I am afraid to travel?
If you want to cancel your trip out of concern for the Coronavirus, you will need to have a plan with Cancel for Any Reason Coverage*. This benefit is a time sensitive coverage and not all travelers may be eligible.
How do I qualify for Cancel for Any Reason coverage?
Cancel for Any Reason* allows you to cancel no matter the reason, as long as you cancel 48 or more hours prior to your scheduled departure. You are able to cancel your trip plans and recover up to 75% of your non-refundable trip cost.

What if I miss my flight due to coronavirus screenings at the airport?
Travel protection will not cover you if you miss your flight due to extra screenings at the airport for the coronavirus. Please allow extra time to get through security checkpoints.
Purchase Coverage No Matter Your Destination
Many people may feel that if an event is not in the destination they are traveling to or through, then they do not need to bother with investing in travel protection. Even if your travel plans do not involve the direct path or location of the event currently, your plans could still be effected.
Emergency Medical & Medical Evacuation Coverage
Purchase a plan that provides coverage for medical expenses incurred during travel, particularly outside of the U.S. With the medical benefits included in our plans, you can help ensure access to quality medical treatment wherever you travel and protect yourself from unexpected travel medical and evacuation expenses.
