Travel Insurance

4 Reasons Why Travel Insurance is a Must

1. To protect your vacation investment
If something happens, like a loved one is hospitalized right before your trip, with trip cancellation benefits, you can be reimbursed for prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs when you cancel for a covered reason.

2. Medical emergencies abroad are expensive
Most foreign countries do not accept US insurance plans. Some are even requiring proof of travel insurance with medical benefits before they let you into the country! You don’t want to get caught paying out-of-pocket for your medical treatment if you’re in an accident or get sick while traveling out of the country.

3. Don’t let minor mishaps ruin your trip
Missed flights or missing luggage aren’t a great way to start a vacation—but travel and baggage delay benefits can help ease the pain. Get reimbursed for unexpected expenses, like essential item purchases if your luggage is missing or overnight accommodations due to a covered departure delay.

4. Travel Insurance is more affordable than you think.
Your AAA Travel Agent will help you find the best option for your needs and budget.

Unique TripAssist Plan Benefits

Purchasing a TripAssist plan through AAA comes with some value-adding benefits that aren’t available with all other Allianz Global Assistance travel protection plans, including:


Vehicle return

to reimburse you the cost of transporting your vehicle back to your residence when a covered illness or injury prevents completion of your trip.


Missed port of call

that can provide you with $100 payments, up to your plan’s maximum amount, when your cruise misses a scheduled port of call on your original itinerary or replaces it with another port of call.


SmartBenefitsSM

that can provide automatic, proactive payments for covered delays on monitored flights and a no-receipts-required payment option for lost or delayed baggage*.

How TripAssist Compares to Cruise, Credit Card, and Tour Insurance.

While it can be convenient to purchase a travel supplier-offered insurance plan or rely on credit card protections when booking your trip, be sure to compare the benefits because third-party plans like TripAssist usually have more comprehensive, secure, and flexible benefits.
