We Recommend Travel Insurance

Whenever you book a trip, it’s essential to understand what’s covered and what’s not. Yes, credit cards offer some protection, and so does your medical insurance, but is it enough?


It is up to you to read the fine print and make decisions regarding your coverage. Travel advisors are not insurance agents, so we can’t advise on your coverage. We can only strongly recommend travel insurance and point you to resources.

We independently select and evaluate recommendations listed below and may receive compensation if you purchase through our links.

Get an Allianz Quote

Start with a no-obligation free quote from Allianz Global Assistance. Our agency has access to a customized plan called Journey that prices well and offers excellent coverage than you may find on the regular marketplace.

They are also a Virtuoso member company. After generating a quote, you can click the “Buy” button to see the fine print and alternate plan options. This is the only option on this page where I would be your travel advisor on record.

Browse the Squaremouth Marketplace

You can also check the largest travel insurance comparison marketplace in America. Squaremouth has the ability for you to browse and buy flight, cruise, single trip, annual, adventure, and medical travel insurance.

Get a MedJet Membership

I also recommend supplementing with a MedJet membership. We have had a family MedJetHorizon membership for many years and find the peace of mind worth the cost.

It’s a medical evacuation membership that can kick in 150 miles or more away from home. My daughter plays elite volleyball so this is huge for me and families with college students far from home join it, too.
