Trip Interruption
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Trip Interruption coverage is similar to Trip Cancellation in that it’s designed to help you recoup non-refundable travel costs. While Trip Cancellation can help if you have to cancel your Trip altogether, Trip Interruption can help if you’re still taking your trip but aren’t able to use all of your pre-paid arrangements.
Trip Interruption coverage goes into effect as soon as you depart on your trip. It can reimburse you up to the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits for unused, non-refundable, pre-paid land and water arrangements. Trip Interruption can also reimburse for out-of-pocket transportation expenses to get you caught back up to your trip as planned, or to get you back home if you have to end your trip early.
Helpful Tip: Reimbursable travel costs include the unused, non-refundable land arrangements that you’ve paid for your trip, such as accommodations, tours, train tickets or event admissions; water arrangements like a ferry ride or cruise, and airfare for any side trips you’d planned during your travel dates.
Did You Know? Trip Interruption coverage can also reimburse you for additional transportation expenses that you must pay when trying to get to your destination if you are delayed and you end up leaving after the scheduled departure date and time.
Like Trip Cancellation, your interruption must be caused by a covered reason in order to have coverage.
Covered Reasons:
- Sickness, Injury and Death: You, a Traveling Companion or your Service Animal become Sick or Injured after you purchase your plan, must seek the in person treatment of a Physician and can’t travel according to a physician. Or a non-traveling Family Member is hospitalized or passes away during your trip and you must return home.
- Important Note: Your or your traveling companion’s sickness or injury must first occur during your trip in order to have coverage. Pre-existing medical conditions are generally excluded from coverage. However, coverage is available with the Premium plan if you purchased your plan prior to or within 24 hours of making Final Payment for your trip, provided other requirements are also met. Review a Plan Documents for full details.

Travel Delay
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Traveling is prone to delays and sometimes those delays can become costly as travelers have to pay for unplanned purchases out of pocket. If you’re delayed during your Trip, Travel Delay can reimburse you up to the amount listed in the Schedule of Benefits for reasonable meals, telephone calls, additional parking charges, pet kennel fees, local transportation and even lodging during your delay.
Important Note: Travel Delay can only be used if your delay is for ten hours or more with the Standard plan, eight hours or more with the Preferred plan and six hours or more with the Premium plan.
Did You Know? Travel Delay and Trip Interruption coverages can often be used in the same situation. If your trip is interrupted or delayed, Trip Interruption can reimburse you for additional transportation to catch up to your trip, unused lodging and missed cruise days, while Travel Delay reimburses for out of pocket costs like meals and overnight lodging while you are delayed.
Covered Reasons:
- Common Carrier delay: for instance, a flight or cruise ship delay
- Adverse weather or natural disaster
- Loss or theft of your travel documents, passport or money
- Quarantine
- Hijacking
- Car Accident: You’re directly involved in a documented traffic accident while en route to departure
- Unannounced strike
- Civil disorder
- Sickness or injury of you or a Traveling Companion
- Death of a traveling companion
Baggage
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Your luggage and personal belongings are valuable, so it makes sense to get coverage for your Baggage when traveling, especially if you'll be away from home for a while. Baggage coverage is secondary to your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.
Baggage coverage can reimburse you if your baggage is damaged, lost or stolen during your trip.
Did You Know? If you need to reissue a passport, visa or ticket because it was lost, damaged or stolen while traveling, Baggage Coverage can pay the fees.
Helpful Tip: If you’re buying any new items for your Trip, keep the receipts. Items without receipts are reimbursed based upon 75% of the Actual Cash Value.
Important Note: Your insurance plan is unable to cover every item you might be traveling with. Some items, like eyeglasses and computer hardware are excluded. Read the full list of excluded items in Plan Documents.
What if my baggage is damaged, lost or stolen? Immediately report what happened to your hotel manager, tour guide, or local authorities and obtain a written report. After reporting your loss, do your best to protect your items from any further damage. If you need to temporarily repair your luggage, we will reimburse you for those costs.
Sporting Equipment
(Included with Preferred and Premium plans)
Sporting Equipment Coverage is very similar to Baggage Coverage, but specifically covers Sporting Equipment that you’re traveling with.
If your sporting equipment is damaged, lost or stolen during your trip, this coverage can reimburse you.
Helpful Tip: If you’re buying any new Sporting Equipment for your Trip, keep the receipts. Items without receipts are reimbursed based upon 75% of the Actual Cash Value.
Important Note: Your insurance plan is unable to cover every item you might be traveling with. Some items, like sunglasses are excluded. Read the full list of excluded items in Plan Documents.
What if my sporting equipment is damaged, lost or stolen? Immediately report what happened to your hotel manager, tour guide, or local authorities and obtain a written report.

Baggage Delay
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Arriving at your destination and standing at the baggage claim waiting for luggage that never arrives is another common, stressful experience for travelers. You might find yourself stranded without essential personal items or clothing that you need to enjoy your trip as planned.
Baggage Delay can reimburse you for the reasonable cost of clothes and other personal items that you have to buy while your baggage is delayed.
Important Note: Baggage must be delayed for at least 24 hours with a Standard pan, 18 hours with a Preferred plan and 12 hours with a Premium plan. This coverage ends once you return home.
Did You Know? We can also reimburse you for the cost to retrieve your delayed baggage and have it returned to you.
Sporting Equipment Delay
(Included with Preferred and Premium plans)
If you arrive at your ski trip destination without your skis or your golf outing destination without your golf clubs, Sporting Equipment Delay can help.
Sporting Equipment Delay can reimburse you for the cost of locating your delayed Sporting Equipment and having it returned to you.

Important Note: Sporting Equipment must be delayed for at least 18 hours with the Preferred plan and 12 hours with the Premium plan.
Missed Connection
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Taking a cruise or tour? Rigid itineraries can make cruise and tour travel especially risky, particularly if you’re flying to your port or city of departure.
If your flight is cancelled or delayed because of adverse weather for three hours or more and you miss your cruise or tour departure, Missed Connection coverage can help.
If this happens, you might miss part of your cruise or tour and assume additional transportation costs to catch up. You might also have to purchase overnight lodging or meals while you’re delayed. While Trip Interruption and Travel Delay coverages will often reimburse you for these costs, Missed Connection can help if coverage isn’t available.
Medical and Dental
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Another important reason why travelers purchase insurance for their trips is to secure medical and dental coverage if they’re traveling out of the country or out of their primary health insurance provider’s network.
If you accidentally become sick or injured on your Trip, your primary or secondary insurance carriers might not be able to cover all of your expenses. Even if your health insurance can cover most of your costs, you might be held responsible for deductibles or copays.
Medical and Dental coverage included with Generali travel insurance can step in and reimburse you for costs that aren’t covered by your health insurance.
Covered medical costs include:
- Services of Physicians and registered nurses
- Hospital charges
- Local ambulance services
- Prescription drugs and medicines
Important Note: Your sickness or injury must first occur during your trip in order to have coverage. Pre-existing medical conditions are generally excluded from coverage. However, coverage is available with the Premium plan if you purchased your plan prior to or within 24 hours of making final payment for your trip, provided other requirements are also met. Review Plan Documents for full requirements.
Did you know? With our No Out-of-Pocket Medical Expenses coverage, we can schedule your doctor’s appointment and arrange upfront payment of up to $1,000 if you have an acute illness during your trip, while traveling in an area where this service is available.
Emergency Assistance and Transportation
(Included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)
Most travelers don’t think about needing to be medically evacuated during their Trip. Coverage for such a scenario can be valuable when cruising, traveling to a remote destination, or simply improving your peace of mind while away from home. Some countries and travel suppliers may even require you to have a minimum amount of emergency medical coverage in order to issue you a visa or allow you to board.
If you become critically sick or injured during your trip and no suitable local care is available, your Generali plan provides coverage for emergency medical evacuation to the nearest hospital that’s equipped to take care of you. For non-emergency situations, the plan provides coverage for medically necessary transportation to a hospital in the U.S. or to your place of residence in the U.S.
Coverage for the preparation and return of your remains to a funeral home in the U.S. or for a local burial if you die outside of the U.S. is also provided. Or, you may choose a local burial, if preferred.

Did You Know? If you’re traveling alone and hospitalized for more than seven days, coverage is included to fly one person of your choosing to come accompany you. The plan also provides coverage for their lodging, meals, local transportation and telephone calls during this time.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment– Air Flight Accident and Travel Accident
(AD&D-Air Flight Accident is included with Standard, Preferred and Premium plans)

Rental Car Damage
(Included with the Premium plan and optional add-on coverage with the Standard and Preferred plans)
Rental Car Damage coverage provides coverage if your rental car is damaged from collision, theft, vandalism, natural disasters or any other cause beyond your control.
Coverage is provided for either the cost of repairs and rental charges charged by the rental company while the vehicle is being repaired or the Actual Cash Value of the car, whichever is less.
Note: Trucks, trailers, motorcycles and other vehicles are not eligible for coverage. Review your Plan Document for a full list of excluded vehicles.
Helpful Tip: If your Traveling Companions are licensed drivers and listed on the rental agreement, they also have coverage.
What if my rental car is damaged? Do your best to protect the vehicle from further damage and report the incident to your rental car company and local authorities as soon as possible. Be sure to acquire all information such as insurance information and driver’s license numbers from any other party involved in the accident. Submit your information and other important documentation, including your rental car agreement, with your claim.
This coverage is not available to residents of Texas.
Trip Cancellation for Any Reason
(Optional add-on coverage with the Premium plan)
Trip Cancellation coverage, unfortunately, can’t cover every reason that might cause you to cancel your trip. This is where Trip Cancellation For Any Reason coverage can help.
Optional Trip Cancellation For Any Reason can reimburse up to 60% of the penalty amount for your trip if you have to cancel. The reason for your cancellation doesn’t matter, but you will need to meet a few other requirements.
To be eligible for this coverage, make sure:
- You purchased Trip Cancellation For Any Reason within 24 hours of making initial deposit for your trip.

- You insured all of your nonrefundable trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties.

Extension of Coverage
All travel insurance coverages will be extended if your entire trip is covered by the plan and your return is delayed by unavoidable circumstances beyond your control. If coverage is extended, coverage will end either on the date you reach your originally scheduled return destination or seven days after your scheduled return date, whichever comes first.
- Important Note: Your or your traveling companion’s sickness or injury must first occur during your trip in order to have coverage. Pre-existing medical conditions are generally excluded from coverage.
