Protect Your Trip Within the U.S. with Travel Protection

Even when traveling within the United States, travel protection may help safeguard against trip cancellations, delays, lost or stolen luggage, and unexpected medical emergencies. Discover why it’s a valuable consideration for domestic travel.

Traveling within the U.S. offers convenience and familiarity—but it’s not without its risks. From flight cancellations and severe weather disruptions to medical emergencies and lost luggage, domestic travel can quickly become costly and stressful. That’s why purchasing travel protection for U.S.-based trips is a smart move. Travel insurance and assistance services may help protect your travel investment and provide support when plans change—whether you're flying cross-country, attending a conference, or taking a long-awaited vacation.

Generali Global Assistance offers travel protection plans tailored to domestic travel needs, helping travelers feel confident from departure to return.

You don’t think travelers only fall off of foreign cliffs? Or people only get stung by non-domestic bees? The fact is, people can be just as or even more accident-prone when they’re traveling and a travel insurance plan with Medical coverage can help no matter where you are.

Why Travel Protection Matters—Even for Domestic Trips

Many travelers assume travel protection is only necessary for international travel. However, unexpected events can occur during any trip—whether you're flying across the country, taking a scenic train ride, or embarking on a road trip. Travel protection may offer valuable benefits and peace of mind.

Generali Global Assistance provides travel protection plans that include coverage for a wide range of events that may occur during U.S.-based travel. From Trip Cancellation to Medical and Dental coverage, these plans are designed to help protect your travel investment.

Trip Cancellation Coverage for Domestic Travel

Trip cancellations can happen for many reasons—illness, family emergencies, or severe weather. If you’ve booked flights, hotels, or tours, canceling your trip could result in financial loss. Travel protection may reimburse prepaid, non-refundable expenses if you cancel for a covered reason.

For example, a trip from New York to California often involves multiple bookings. If you become ill or face an emergency before departure, travel protection may help recover those costs.

Coverage for Travel Delays and Interruptions

Domestic travel is not immune to disruptions. Winter storms, hurricanes (provided the storm was unforeseen and the plan was purchased before it became a named storm), and other weather events can delay or cancel flights, trains, or road travel. These delays may lead to missed connections, additional hotel stays, and unexpected food expenses.

Generali Global Assistance travel protection plans may help cover these types of delays. If your trip is interrupted for a covered reason, you may be reimbursed for extra costs incurred due to the delay (limitations apply to different plans).

Lost or Stolen Baggage Protection

Lost or stolen luggage is a common issue—even on domestic flights. If your bags go missing or your valuables are stolen, replacing them can be expensive. Travel protection may cover the cost of replacing covered items, helping you get back on track.

This benefit is especially useful for travelers carrying valuables, clothing, or other high-value items. Our plans include coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage.

Emergency Medical Coverage While Traveling in the U.S.

Your health insurance may not fully cover emergency medical care when you're outside your home network. Some policies have geographic limitations or require out-of-pocket payments for out-of-network services.

Travel protection may help fill these gaps by covering emergency medical expenses, including hospital stays, ambulance services, and urgent care. Before traveling, review your health insurance policy to understand your coverage. If there are limitations, a travel protection plan may provide the additional coverage you need.

When Travel Protection May Not Be Necessary

Not every domestic trip requires travel protection. If you're traveling less than 100 miles from home or using ground transportation for a short trip, coverage may not be available or necessary. Our plans typically require travel to be more than 100 miles from your home to qualify for coverage.

Also, consider the total cost of your trip. If you're spending minimally and have flexible plans, travel protection may not be the right fit. Always read the plan details to understand can be covered and make an informed decision.
