Travel Insurance For Road Trips Q&A
Can you buy travel insurance for a road trip after booking?
Yes – and if you buy within 15 days of making your initial payment towards your trip, you qualify for bonus coverage, like coverage for pre-existing medical conditions if you must cancel for a covered reason. However, you can also buy coverage up until the day before you leave.
How much does travel insurance for a road trip cost?
Travel insurance can cost from 5% to 7% of your total trip cost, though that amount can be influenced by:
- Your age
- The number of people covered under your policy
- Cost of your trip or nonrefundable deposits
- Number of days of your vacation
- Number of days prior to your departure
As with any travel insurance, it pays to look around and compare to find the best travel insurance policy for your road trip.
Can trip insurance be worth it for a driving vacation?
Absolutely – travel insurance can be worth it because it can help reimburse you for covered expenses like emergency evacuation, out-of-network emergency medical bills, and related costs like hotel cancellation penalties or non-refundable attraction or event tickets.
Do I need medical travel insurance while on a road trip?
A medical emergency that incurs charges from providers outside your health plan’s network could mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in medical bills. Travel insurance can help pay if you get sick or injured when you’re away from home and can cover costs to evacuate you to an adequate medical facility.
Should I buy travel insurance for my road trip?
Travel insurance from Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection may be your best option if you answer “yes” to any of these:
- Does your road trip costs include non-refundable deposits like hotels or attractions or event tickets?
- Do you have adequate coverage if a medical emergency occurs while you’re away from home?
- Does your health plan have a limited provider network?
- Is your trip international, where you’ll embark on the ultimate road trip?
