And, when travel plans are made at the last minute, even the most meticulous planner can feel overwhelmed. In this chaos, purchasing travel insurance that includes assistance services often gets overlooked.

Last-minute travel protection may help cover the stuff you want it to

Buying travel insurance with assistance services at the last minute does not mean that you’re getting cut-rate coverage.

Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions may be the only thing you might be sacrificing by buying travel insurance with assistance services at the last minute.

If your travel purchase date is last-minute too, that may not even be the case.

Beyond that, last-minute travel protection includes coverage for:

• Trip interruption and cancellation
• Lost or damaged baggage
• Medical emergencies and medical evacuation
• And more

Furthermore, the 24/7 Travel Assistance Services that come with our plans can be super helpful when you reach your destination, especially if you missed something with your last-minute planning and packing.

Last-minute travel protection doesn’t cost more

Just about everything else in travel costs more when you buy it at the last minute – hotels, airfares, rental cars. But not travel protection. The short answer is that travel insurance with assistance services just doesn’t work that way.

Last-minute travel protection may cover everyone in your party in many parts of the world. Along those same lines, buying travel protection right before you leave doesn’t stop you from covering everyone who needs coverage – the kids, siblings, grandparents
