Platinum is Travel Guard’s premier package plan

Most travel insurance companies offer something called a “package” plan. Package plans are popular because they offer comprehensive, all-in-one coverage, usually including:

trip cancellation
trip interruption
medical emergencies
emergency evacuation
baggage

Look for a plan with the appropriate amount of coverage for your trip

When comparing package plans, look at the coverage limits and ask yourself if you feel comfortable with the amount. For example, some people are not as concerned with emergency medical expenses but want as much baggage coverage as possible. Before you start shopping, take a moment and write down what is important to you in a policy. What type of coverage is most important and how much do you need?

Travel Guard offers a plan called Platinum. This is their premier package plan, and offers comprehensive coverage for travelers, including:
