The result: The finest international travel insurance you can buy, with protection that can cover you from domestic jetway to international terminal and back again.

We want what you want: a carefree international vacation. And if you have a claim, rest easy. We pay up to five times faster than industry averages.*
“It was nice being able to purchase the insurance right before I left for my trip. I didn't have to use it, but it was comforting knowing it was available. It was responsibly priced too!”
– Deborah B.
Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection is your international travel insurance expert, and is backed by Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company’s A.M. Best A++ rating for financial security and strength that goes wherever you go.
All our plans can cover medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical evacuation, and lost, damaged, or stolen luggage. ExactCare Extra also adds fixed-benefit claims payments for approved flight annoyances like flight departure delay, missed connections, and tarmac delay. Depending on what plan you buy and when you buy it, international travel insurance can also cover pre-existing medical conditions, and trip cancellation for any reason.
Yes! That’s a great time to buy travel insurance for an international trip. If you buy within 15 days of making your initial deposit, you can often qualify for bonus coverage. For instance, if you want international travel insurance with coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, you need to buy early. However, if you’re a procrastinator, many plans let you buy coverage up until the day before you leave.
Plan costs vary depending on what they cover, but expect a plan to cost about 8 to 10 percent of your total prepaid trip cost, regardless of whether you buy international travel insurance online or from a travel professional.
Absolutely! Travel insurance is often worth the investment for its potential to help reimburse you for hundreds of thousands of dollars of covered expenses for emergency evacuation, medical bills, and costs related to trip cancellation and interruption. Also, trip insurance is recommended for travelers by the U.S. State Department, further underlining its worth. (Source: travel.state.gov)
Not all medical plans cover you when you travel overseas, meaning you could be faced with thousands of dollars of medical bills that you have to pay on the spot. Travel insurance can help pay hospital and doctor bills if you get sick or injured when you’re on vacation in a foreign country, and can cover the cost of the medical evacuation to transport you to an adequate medical facility.
We think so, but if you’re not sure, ask your travel professional, or someone who travels abroad frequently.
Let Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection protect your dream vacation with easy, comprehensive, fast-paying travel insurance. Wherever in the world you travel … we’re here to help.
