Why Choose WorldTrips?
Who is insuring you is just as important as the insurance plan you choose. For over 25 years, WorldTrips has provided trip insurance and service to help our customers travel fearlessly. Our knowledgeable customer representatives are available 24/7 to respond to your travel emergencies, for various languages and no matter the time zone.
CNN Underscored recently included two of our trip cancellation plans—Atlas Journey Preferred and Atlas Journey Premier—on their list of the top 10 travel insurance policies.
“WorldTrips is the best travel insurance company of 2024, based on our in-depth analysis of travel insurance policies."
Is Trip Cancellation Insurance Required for Travel Abroad?
No, trip cancellation insurance isn’t required. But it’s important to know that some countries require foreign visitors to have international travel insurance that meets specific requirements. Others may only require proof of (any) valid insurance for the duration of a trip.
Will My Current Health Plan Cover Me Overseas?
Your regular health insurance that covers you on a daily basis may not provide any coverage once you leave your home country. Even if it does include some international health coverage, it may not include a Medical Evacuation benefit or trip benefits like Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Travel Delay.
Your travel-related credit card could offer some compensation for travel mishaps, but it’s unlikely that it includes any overseas medical coverage. Atlas Journey trip cancellation insurance provides an array of trip benefits—plus up to $250,000 for unexpected medical expenses.
How Trip Cancellation Insurance Works in Action
- Your best friend’s mom passes away a week before you’re set to depart on a trip together.
Understandably, your friend decides not to go on the trip. You don’t want to go without her, so you cancel your flights and hotel. Your Atlas Journey plan’s Trip Cancellation benefit could reimburse you for these prepaid, nonrefundable expenses.
- You’re on a business trip when your wife unexpectedly goes into labor. You fly home early so you can be there for your baby’s birth.
Your Atlas Journey policy’s Trip Interruption benefit may pay for your plane ticket back home so you can be there for your wife and newborn child.
- Your flight is delayed until morning due to severe storms.
You book a hotel room so you don’t have to spend the night at the airport. Your Atlas Journey plan’s Travel Delay benefit could reimburse you for the taxi to the hotel, your hotel stay, and the meals you hadn’t factored into your budget.
- Your rental is broken in to and your baggage is stolen.
You purchase new clothes and toiletries for the rest of your trip. Because you filed a police report, your Atlas Journey plan could reimburse you for these items.
- You’re sightseeing when you trip and break your ankle.
How Much Does Trip Cancellation Insurance Cost?
That depends. The price you’ll pay for your Atlas Journey trip cancellation insurance plan is based on a couple of key factors:
- Age: As your age increases -> So will the cost of your plan
- Trip Cost: As your trip cost increases -> So will the cost of your plan
- Date of Purchase: The further your purchase is from your departure date -> The more expensive your plan will be
Trips over 30 days have an additional charge. Your state of residence may factor into your price too.
Here’s an example. Imagine you’re a thirty-year-old Indiana resident departing on a 5-day, $3,000 trip. You purchase your plan 21 days before your departure date. Here are the plan options you’ll see when you input your trip details:
- Atlas Journey Escape: $61
- Atlas Journey Explore: $77
- Atlas Journey Elevate: $82
Need Last-Minute Coverage?
If you’re leaving on your trip today, you can still get trip insurance. Our Atlas On-The-Go plan is trip interruption insurance designed to provide next-day coverage for travel mishaps and emergencies like lost baggage, missed connections, trip disruptions, and illness.
Forgot to factor insurance into your budget? No worries. Atlas On-The-Go is budget-friendly because it doesn’t include the trip cancellation coverage you would no longer need.
To buy an Atlas On-The-Go plan, just enter your trip details and select that your departure date is today.
