Claims
Thank you very much for your favorable consideration of our claims. I was planning on driving my mom back up north to her home today but was delayed due to nasty weather conditions. Imagine our delight to find our travel refund checks in the mailbox today! This will help fund our return trip to Wisconsin! Thank you again!

Sickness
My wife and I were enjoying a vacation to Barbados when she became ill. After a couple of trips to the clinic in Barbados we decided to cut our trip short. Travel Guard took care of everything they said they would in a very timely manner. I have used Travel Guard many times and I would highly recommend them to everyone!

I am flying to a photography workshop in Florence, Italy. But, during a layover in Amsterdam, I became very ill and had to be taken to a hospital for a week. My luggage went on to Florence without me and your staff was able to track it down and get it returned to Mobile, AL.

Frequently Asked Questions
Just another expense, right? Wrong. A travel insurance plan can cover you for unexpected costs incurred before or during your trip so that expenses can be less likely to come out of your own pocket. A vacation insurance plan from Travel Guard helps to protect your trip investment with coverages like trip cancellation and interruption, medical expense and evacuation, lost or delayed baggage and more.
As a bonus - most travel insurance plans also include 24/7 emergency assistance services to re-book flights and hotels on your behalf and act as a personal travel assistant while you are away from home.
The cost of travel insurance is based, in most cases, on the value of the trip and the age of the traveler. Typically, the cost is five to seven percent of the trip cost. You can get a free quote for your personalized travel insurance plan or call our representatives at 800-826-5248.
Insurance can be purchased up to 24 hours prior to your trip departure date.
You can purchase a policy either online, or through a representative at our call center. You can purchase online here and you will be guided through our product comparison tool. To purchase over the phone, call our representatives at 800-826-5248.
You bet! We offer an assortment of travel insurance plans for a variety of travel needs.
Please be careful when using frequent flyer miles to calculate your trip cost. Travel insurance typically covers the cash value of non-refundable travel expenses. In other words, money you can’t get back from your airline or other travel provider. Frequent flyer miles are not covered as it’s difficult to determine their cash value.
Let’s make this easy! Before purchasing, please have the following information handy:
- Personal information for all travelers who will be on the policy
- Trip details: dates of travel, destination, initial deposit date, final payment date, and any travel companies you will be using
- Total trip cost and how that cost is broken down per person in your itinerary.
The US government, through the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), regulates travel to the destination you have selected. To purchase this policy, you will need to mail Travel Guard a paper application for insurance, a Cuba Travel Compliance Certification (Travel Guard version) and, if you are traveling under a specific OFAC license, additional documentation. Please contact our sanctioned countries hotline at 866.375.2546 for forms and additional details.
