Travel Guard logo Travel Guard has begun offering a custom travel insurance product called My Travel Guard. Travelers can pick and choose the coverage they need for their trip.

Travelers start with a base plan which covers:

trip cancellation, interruption, or delay
emergency medical expenses, medical evacuation
lost, stolen, or damaged baggage/travel documents
luggage delay

These benefits cover all the basics of travel insurance. Travelers going on a short, simple vacation might be happy with this. The major concerns are losing pre-paid deposits when you cancel, high medical expenses in case of an accident or illness, and losing your bags.

But for those travelers who have special concerns, My Travel Guard offers several add-on benefits. For an additional premium, you can add the following customizable benefits:

medical expense upgrade with primary coverage
“hospital of choice” coverage, allowing the insured choice of hospital
coverage for terrorism, financial default, and pre-existing conditions
baggage upgrade
adventure sports coverage
rental car collision insurance
“at your service” concierge style benefits
flight insurance for common carrier accidents

This allows a lot of flexibility for travelers who might not want to spend as much on their policy. You can strip down the benefits to the bare essentials while knowing the major coverage is there.
