Why Travel Insurance from Allianz Global Assistance
For Travelers
How travel insurance can help protect every adventure.
Of course no one likes to spend more money, but the truth is that anything can happen when traveling, and it’s a good idea to be protected just in case. Below are some of the most common ways that vacations get ruined and how travel insurance can help. Trip delays, interruptions, or even cancellations can cause unexpected headaches and expenses, but travel insurance can help make sure you are protected for adjustments you need to make to overcome these situations. Some plans contain cancellation benefits and if you have a covered reason you can be reimbursed for pre-paid non-refundable expenses, like a medical emergency or loss of employment before your trip even begins. Allianz Global Assistance, a world leader in travel insurance and assistance services, offers many reasons to protect yourself and your family with travel insurance. We help travelers every year through unanticipated travel delays, bad weather, lost luggage, and medical emergencies in foreign countries. Here are 10 reasons why experienced travelers choose Travel Insurance from Allianz Global Assistance:*
1. Life is unpredictable.
Some trips need to be cancelled. With travel insurance, you don’t necessarily have to pay for a trip you are unable to take. Instead, enjoy more confidence knowing that you stay a step ahead of unpredictable situations before and during your trip.
2. Don’t let sickness stop you.
From coughs in the crowds to exotic eats that don’t agree with your stomach, sick happens. It’s less scary to be sick with travel insurance by your side to help you through these troubles.
*Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. Insurance benefits are underwritten by either BCS Insurance Company or Jefferson Insurance Company depending on insured’s state of residence. AGA Service Company is the licensed producer and administrator of these plans.
32
3. Your health insurance has its limits. When you travel outside the U.S., you may be leaving your health insurance at home. Many U.S. plans (including Medicare and Medicaid) don’t cover travelers abroad. Why risk it when a medical evacuation can cost $50,000+?
4. Forgot your medication? Lost or forgotten medication can set off an alarm when you’re far from home. Let travel insurance help you locate a pharmacy to purchase a new Rx. It’s always nerve-wracking when something goes wrong. But when you’re in a foreign country, you don’t want to face any kind of crisis alone.
5. Lost luggage can leave you in a lurch. Allianz Global Assistance provides benefits that can help you replace needed items if your bags are delayed, damaged, or stolen while you’re away. With reimbursement for your trip essentials, you can still suit up for wherever your journey takes you next.
6. The plan crumbles. If a travel supplier ceases operations, you may not get a refund for the money you fronted for a cruise, flight, or tour. Travel insurance is in place so you’re less likely to pay for an experience you’ll never have. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. Plan(s) underwritten by BCS Insurance Company or Jefferson Insurance Company. AGA Service Company is the licensed producer and administrator of these plans. Contact AGA Service Company at 800-284-8300 or 9950 Mayland Drive, Richmond, VA 23233 or customerservice@allianzassistance.com.
Back to Helpful Resources
7. You don’t want the credit (voucher). Airlines aren’t required to refund a ticket in the event of an emergency. In fact, your carrier can choose to offer a credit voucher toward future travel instead of cash in pocket. With travel insurance, you have more control over your Plan B.
8. Speaking of change of plans... Flight delays can add up. Beyond being annoying, prolonged delays can cause you to accrue expenses while you wait, or worse, miss a connection. With travel insurance, a covered travel delay can mean cash for rebooking fees, meals, and accommodations.
9. Your credit card may not cover you. Some travelers opt out of travel insurance, thinking credit card coverage would suffice in a crunch. Truth is, even if you have this free coverage benefit, it won’t be as extensive as a separate travel insurance plan.
10. Tap into smart travel tools. Allianz Global Assistance provides travelers with a simple-to-use tool that pairs perfectly with wanderlust. Download our TravelSmart™ app to view your policy on the go, file a claim, track your flight in real-time, and get one-touch emergency assistance. All this and more is at your fingertips. Download TravelSmart for free on the AppStore and GooglePlay.

Covered Reasons Who’s considered “family?”
Travel Insurance by Allianz Global Assistance provides travelers with greater coverage by offering broad definitions of “family members.”
This graphic shows all of the individuals Allianz Global Assistance considers “family members,” which means any of them could trigger a covered reason. For instance, if your nanny gets sick and can’t care for your children while you’re away, and one of your plan’s covered reasons is “illness of a family member,” you could cancel or interrupt your trip and be covered. The Certificate of Insurance/Policy includes a full list of covered reasons.
