And when it comes to medical emergencies, the numbers can get serious fast: the U.S. Department of State notes that an air ambulance back to the U.S. can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $200,000 depending on the situation.
I’ll help you understand your options and choose coverage that makes sense for your trip - because insurance should feel like a smart part of planning, not an afterthought.
The “cover the bases” option.
Standard travel insurance can cover a range of unexpected situations, including trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, baggage issues, emergency medical expenses, and more, depending on the policy.
I work with several different travel insurance agencies, which means I can compare plans and pricing across providers rather than sending you to one company and calling it a day. I’ll help you find the coverage that makes the most sense for your trip, your investment, and your comfort level - because the cheapest policy isn't always the best one.
The coverage I care about most.
If you’re traveling internationally, especially to a safari destination, remote area, or somewhere where medical care may be limited, medical transport coverage is worth considering.
Through my partnership with Medjet, clients can purchase trip-specific or annual medical transport memberships. It’s a great option if you want protection specifically for medical transport without purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy.
For when “I just don't want to go anymore” is the reason.
Standard cancellation coverage only applies to specific covered reasons listed in your policy. CFAR gives you more flexibility, allowing you to cancel for a reason that isn't otherwise covered and typically receive a percentage of your prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs back. There are usually specific eligibility requirements, deadlines, and reimbursement limits, so this is one you want to consider early - not the night before your flight.
