Without travel insurance, if something unexpected happens like an accident or a missed flight, you could be responsible for some of those costs yourself.
These unexpected expenses can be expensive, so travel insurance can help give you greater peace of mind, knowing your travel investment is covered.

Canceling your Trip
If you need to cancel your travel plans, but haven’t left for your trip yet, you should cancel your reservations directly with the carrier, travel agent, or tour operator and then contact Travel Guard claims. They’ll help you get the paperwork you need to file a claim. You will be able to file a claim for any of the prepaid and non-refundable costs that you already paid – like a hotel deposit or flight.
Ending Your Trip Early
Sometimes things come up, and we need to leave vacation early. Did you know, even if it’s not for a covered reason on your policy, Travel Guard can assist you with getting back home? If you need to go home early, contact Travel Guard’s World Service Center representatives, and they can help change your flights, cancel your reservations, and more – saving you time and hassle. Once you are home, you can file a claim for any covered lost or extra costs associated with getting back home.
Missing or Canceled Flight
One of the worst feelings on vacation is seeing your flight take off without you or seeing that flight board switching to “canceled.” As the rest of your flight mates get in line at the airport desk to rearrange their travels, you can skip the hassle and give us a call directly. We can help you rebook your flight and get you on your way.
Visiting a Doctor
Unfortunately, we aren’t immune from illness or injury while on vacation. But you don’t always have to end your trip due to an upset stomach or twisted ankle. If you’re able to continue your trip, but need to see a doctor, you can call Travel Guard for a list of doctors in your area. Make sure you get a medical report and keep any receipts, so you can file a claim when you are home.
Always remember, if you are having an emergency, seek medical attention first. Once you are able, call Travel Guard and a medically trained case manager can help monitor your care while you are in the hospital. We have doctors, nurses and EMTs on staff who will speak with the treating medical staff to get regular updates on your condition.
What if I already have medical insurance?
“But I have health insurance already, won’t that cover me?”
The answer is that it may not, particularly if you are traveling internationally. You should read your health insurance policy to see if it provides the coverage you need. Travel Guard also offers travel assistance services with most of its travel insurance plans. Our service centers are available year-round to assist with traveling logistics, issues, and scheduling. For example, if you have an accident on your trip Travel Guard’s representatives can help you book an appointment with the doctor or find new flights home if you need to cut your trip short. You can travel more confidently, with access to our award-winning travel and emergency assistance, especially if it’s overseas where you may not be as familiar with the medical or transport systems.
