Travel Guard Insurance Review

The Good: This budget-minded plan provides essential travel insurance coverage: cancellations, interruptions, delays and includes some medical coverage, evacuation, and baggage coverage. Several upgrades are available to fill out the plan according to your travel needs.

The Drawbacks: The coverage limits are not high – especially for medical care, which can be costly. If you encounter a severe medical emergency, the coverage limits may not be adequate.

The Bottom Line: This is an essentials-only travel insurance plan for those on a budget – useful for students or families who want to insure their travel investment. The optional coverages allow a traveler to fill in any gaps in their coverage.
