Why is Travel Insurance Worth Considering?

Allianz Global Assistance

If you’ve never had to cancel a trip, experienced a travel or luggage delay, or needed medical help during a vacation, you’re one lucky traveler. The good news is these kinds of common, unexpected events can create much less stress, inconvenience, and financial setbacks with AAA-exclusive TripAssist travel insurance from Allianz Global Assistance.

TripAssist Travel Insurance Plans Include:

  • Reimbursement for covered trip cancellations and interruptions
  • Emergency medical and transportation benefits while traveling abroad, where many personal health plans won’t cover you
  • Benefits that can reimburse you for lost or stolen belongings
  • Reimbursement for qualifying travel delays and covered purchases of essentials during baggage delays
  • Fixed inconvenience payments for covered missed ports of call*
  • 24/7 award-winning assistance for emergencies, solving travel-related issues, and help making reservations

Every year, about 330,000 AAA members opt to secure their travel investments, belongings, and themselves with TripAssist­—bringing them more peace of mind when their travel plans go smoothly and benefits plus assistance when certain unexpected events happen.

With SmartBenefitsSM, TripAssist can be shockingly easy to use when you need it. For example, if a family of four has a qualifying travel delay that’s detected, it can automatically trigger a proactive payment of up to $400--$100 per traveler included on the plan.** Kids 17 and under are included free on most plans while traveling with a covered parent or grandparent.

Whether you want to protect yourself from losing money or losing your cool, it’s always a smart choice to consider making TripAssist a part of your travel plans.
