Travelex – TraveLite

Editor Review

The Good: This plan provides comfortable benefit limits for nearly all of the expected package plan benefits. Kids under 18 are covered at no additional cost when traveling with a covered adult. Optional ‘cancel for any reason’, flight accident AD&D, medical upgrade, and rental car coverage protection available (purchase the plan within 21 days of initial trip deposit).

The Drawbacks: Available only to U.S. citizens and not all benefits are available to citizens of all states.

The Bottom Line: Providing generous medical and evacuation coverage, this plan protects individuals and families on trips lasting up to 365 days (a full year).
