OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:

Is COVID-19 covered by travel insurance for US residents?

 

Travel Insurance has always been highly recommended. Heading into 2021, some trips/destinations will even require it.  Always, always check with your chosen travel insurance company about your specific policy.  We like World Nomads Travel Insurance.  Here is what they say:

Just like any other sickness, COVID-19 can be covered under plan benefits. These benefits include emergency medical and trip interruption coverage for you personally or a travel companion who contracts COVID-19 or goes under quarantine when traveling.  For more information, see:
