Summary: Unexpected things can disrupt even the best-laid travel plans. Travel protection is here to help give you confidence and peace of mind. Learn what to look for in a provider and why our travel insurance with 24/7 assistance services, is right for your trip.

Traveling is one of life’s greatest joys—whether it’s a long-awaited vacation, a spontaneous weekend getaway, or a journey to reconnect with loved ones. But even the best-laid travel plans can be disrupted by the unexpected. That’s where travel protection comes in—not just as a safety net, but as a source of confidence and peace of mind.

As a traveler, you want to know that your travel protection provider has your back. You want clarity, reliability, and support when it matters most. At Generali Global Assistance, we understand that. We’ve been helping travelers like you for decades, and we’ve built our reputation on trust, service, and longevity.

So, what should you look for in a travel protection provider—and why should Generali Global Assistance be your first choice? Let’s break it down.

1. Coverage That Reflects Real Travel Needs

You don’t need a plan filled with fluff—you a travel protection plan that matches how you actually travel. Generali Global Assistance offers three levels of coverage, Standard, Preferred, and Premium, so you can choose the plan that fits your trip and your budget.

Our plans are designed to help cover the essentials and more, whether you need Trip Cancellation protection, Medical and Dental, baggage loss reimbursement, or 24/7 travel assistance. Because we know every traveler is different, we make it easy to compare plans and understand exactly what’s included.

Why it matters: You get meaningful protection for real-world travel scenarios—not just the basics such as medical coverage.

2. Exceptional Customer Service and Support

When something goes wrong, you want help fast—and you want it from someone who knows what they’re doing. Generali Global Assistance’s 24/7 Travel Assistance Services are available anytime to help. Our multilingual team can help with:

• Emergency medical referrals
• Lost passport replacement
• Travel delays and rebooking
• Telemedicine consultations
• Concierge services (included with all plans)

We’re part of Europ Assistance, which operates one of the world’s largest integrated medical network, with access to over 750,000 assistance providers worldwide. We’ve handled more than 12.2 million travel assistance interventions, so you can trust that can help when it counts.

Why it matters: You’re never alone. With Generali Global Assistance, help is just a call away.

3. Award-Winning Emergency Assistance

These kinds of accolades reflect our commitment to delivering real value and support to travelers when it matters most.

Why it matters: Independent recognition means you’re choosing a provider trusted by many travelers alike.

4. No Out‑of‑Pocket Medical Expense for Eligible In‑Network Visits

Travelers often worry about paying for medical care while away from home. With Generali Global Assistance, certain trips may include access to a No Out‑of‑Pocket Medical Expense benefit of up to $1,000 when seeking treatment for an acute illness through an in‑network physician. To use this service, travelers must contact the Emergency Hotline first to receive a referral and have the visit scheduled. When available, the assistance provider may guarantee payment directly to the physician for the covered visit.

This service is only available when the acute illness is covered under the plan’s Medical and Dental coverage and is subject to all policy limitations, exclusions, and conditions. It does not apply to Emergency Dental treatment.

For other covered medical situations outside this service, Medical and Dental coverage is provided on an excess basis. In some cases, payment arrangements may be made if required at the time of treatment.

5. Trusted Experience and Global Reach

Generali Global Assistance is part of the Generali Group, one of the largest insurance companies in the world. With over 190 years of experience and a presence in more than 50 countries, we bring experience to every plan we offer.

Our deep industry knowledge means we understand the nuances of international travel, from visa requirements to regional health risks. And because we operate globally, we can help provide support and resources on your travels.

Why it matters: A provider with global reach and proven experience is better equipped to handle complex travel issues and provide reliable solutions.

7. Clear Communication and Transparency

Insurance can be confusing—but it doesn’t have to be. We believe in clear, jargon-free communication that helps you understand your coverage, your benefits, and your responsibilities.

Why it matters: Confidence comes from understanding. Generali Global Assistance helps empower travelers with the information they need to feel prepared.

8. Identity Theft Resolution Services

Traveling often means using public Wi-Fi, sharing personal information, and navigating unfamiliar systems—all of which can increase your risk of identity theft. Generali Global Assistance includes Identity Theft Resolution Services during and after your trip, helping you recover if your personal data is compromised.

Why it matters: Travel protection goes beyond your itinerary. We help safeguard your identity, too.
