Here's what you need to know

If you’re a frequent traveler for work or fun, there’s no reason to purchase travel insurance each time you take a trip. Instead, the Annual Travel Insurance plan covers an entire year of trips. The plan covers trips, taken by any means, of at least 100 miles from your primary residence and lasting as long as 60 days.

 

Benefits include:

 

  • Coverage for expenses related to covered delays such as lodging and meals
  • Medical expenses if you have an accident or get sick including evacuation if needed
  • Loss or damage of luggage
You may be a seasoned traveler, planning multiple trips in a given year. But no matter how diligent you are, it’s hard to plan for the unexpected (a travel delay, illness or accident). When you elect the Annual Travel Insurance plan, you have peace of mind that your coverage is ready to go when you are, no matter how many trips you take. Now with trip cancellation coverage for added travel flexibility.
You are eligible to enroll during your employer’s annual enrollment. New hires must wait until the next enrollment period.
