Travel Guard International has released a new customizable travel insurance product, called My Travel Guard, according to TravelWeekly.com. The policy allows you to select different levels of coverage, and even different types of coverage, resulting in a “made-to-order” insurance policy.

My Travel Guard base plan automatically includes coverage for:
* Trip cancellation, interruption and delay
* Medical expenses and emergency medical evacuation
* Lost, stolen or damaged baggage and travel documents
* Luggage delay

These coverages cover the basics of most travel insurance products. The limits on the coverage are a bit lower than other policies, which keeps the overall policy cost down.

You then have the option to customize your policy by adding the following:
* Medical evacuation option that takes you home or to the hospital of your choice
* Coverage for a range of adventure sports activities
* Rental collision insurance
* Flight accident coverage
* Ultimate concierge services for reservations at hotels & restaurants

By offering this, Travel Guard is letting the customer choose their own levels of coverage instead of simply offering a package policy with all coverages and higher coverage amounts. This keeps your policy costs down.
