travel insurance for domestic

Domestic Travel Insurance

Traveling domestically within the United States can be an exciting adventure, but unforeseen circumstances can quickly change all your travel plans. Travel insurance can help ease your mind and provide protection in the event of unexpected emergencies, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost or stolen luggage. With reasonable travel protection plans available from AXA, domestic travel is a smart choice for anyone looking for adventure.

Is travel insurance necessary for domestic travel?

Travel insurance for domestic trips is a wise decision, as it provides crucial coverage and protection against unforeseen events that could otherwise spoil your trip. Here are some common benefits of travel insurance for domestic travel:

Trip Cancellation  and  Interruption : If your trip is canceled or interrupted due to eligible unforeseen circumstances such as a natural disaster, illness, or death in the family, travel insurance can help provide reimbursement for non-refundable expenses such as flights, hotels and tours.
Medical Emergencies : If you get sick or injured during your domestic trip, travel insurance can help cover medical expenses such as hospitalization, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation.
Travel Delays : If your flight is delayed or canceled, travel insurance can help reimburse for expenses such as meals, accommodations, and transportation until you are able to reach your destination.
Lost or Stolen Luggage : If your luggage is lost, stolen, or damaged during your domestic trip, travel insurance can help provide reimbursement for the value of your belongings.

Vacation Stories:

Sarah had always been an adventurer, and she was excited to explore the beautiful mountains of Denver, Colorado. She had carefully planned her trip, packed her gear, and set out on her hiking adventure. As she was hiking in a remote area of the mountains, Sarah suddenly slipped and fell, injuring her leg. She tried to continue hiking, but the pain became unbearable. Realizing she needed medical attention, Sarah called her provider and they immediately arranged for her to be airlifted to the nearest hospital. Luckily she had an AXA plan with benefits for the cost of her medical treatment and the emergency transportation, saving her from thousands of dollars in expenses.

Is travel insurance expensive?

A policy usually costs just 3-6% of your trip costs, and the total cost doesn’t go up much for each additional person. 1 Whatever amount of coverage you choose, the knowledge that you are covered in a variety of circumstances is priceless!

Cancel for Any Reason Coverage

If you are concerned about having a trip canceled or interrupted by circumstances outside of those generally covered, “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage may be right for you. Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) is an optional, add-on benefit that allows you to cancel your trip for any reason, with reimbursement. CFAR is there for when you need to cancel your trip more than 48 hours ahead of time: it can give up to 75% back of your prepaid trip arrangements.   CFAR is available exclusively to AXA’s Platinum plan.

Domestic Travel Insurance: What Does It Cover?

D omestic vacations are generally less expensive than international ones, and your health insurance policy may already cover medical emergencies you experience, even across state lines. So, do you need one of the best travel insurance policies while vacationing in the U.S.? And what would a policy cover during a domestic trip?

In this article, we explain what domestic travel insurance covers to help you determine whether purchasing one of these policies is right for you. Keep reading to find out more.

What does domestic travel insurance cover, domestic travel insurance exclusions, do you need travel insurance for domestic trips, how much is domestic travel insurance, when to buy domestic travel insurance, domestic travel insurance faqs, summary of money’s guide to domestic travel insurance.

While travel insurance is mainly associated with international travel, you can also purchase this type of policy for domestic trips. Coverage options vary by insurance company and plan, yet most travel insurance policies afford the following types of coverage.

Emergency medical coverage: Reimburses you — up to the policy limit — for medical treatment related to accidents or illnesses you experience during a trip. Coverage generally excludes pre-existing conditions and may be primary or secondary to any existing medical insurance you have that’s in effect at your destination. (Check with your insurer to confirm that coverage.)
Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage: Covers emergency transportation to the nearest medical facility or back to a hospital close to your home, if medically necessary and recommended by your doctor. It also covers expenses related to transporting your remains to your return destination if you die during the trip.
Trip cancellation coverage: Refunds you a percentage of pre-paid, non-refundable travel costs — up to a limit — if you cancel or interrupt your trip for eligible reasons. Valid reasons for canceling include natural disasters and the illness or injury of a traveler or their family member.
Trip interruption coverage: If you must interrupt a trip for a covered reason, travel insurance can reimburse you for the unused portion of the trip and any expenses you incur returning home. Reimbursement is usually capped at 150% of the trip’s cost.
Travel delay coverage: Trip delay coverage reimburses you up to your policy limits if you experience flight delays and incur additional expenses like meals or lodging. It may also cover airport delays and flight change fees.
Baggage loss and baggage delay coverage: Refunds you the cost of replacement items (up to a per-item limit) if your luggage is lost or delayed during your trip. You usually have to wait a specified number of hours before filing a claim and provide purchase receipts or a list of items in your luggage. Coverage may also be subject to a deductible.
24-hour emergency and travel assistance: Most travel insurers offer worldwide travel assistance services. These include help with replacing lost documents, luggage, prescriptions or medical devices and arranging hotel accommodations and medical transport services.

For more information about these and other coverage options, read our article on what travel insurance covers .

Travel insurance add-ons and benefits for domestic trips

Again, while options vary by company, insurers generally offer add-ons and other benefits that can enhance a base travel insurance policy. These include:

Rental car collision coverage: Also called collision damage waiver (CDW), this add-on waives policyholders’ financial responsibility (up to a limit) if their rental vehicle is damaged in an accident or collision. When available, this option generally costs extra.
Cancel for any reason (CFAR) coverage: While standard cancellation coverage reimburses policyholders for cancellations related to specific covered events, cancel for any reason coverage reimburses policyholders for a portion of their trip cost (50% to 75%) if they cancel for any reason whatsoever. This option can increase the policy’s price by as much as 50%.
Waiver of pre-existing conditions: Travel insurance policies commonly exclude coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Unless you qualify for a pre-existing conditions waiver at the time of purchase, you won’t be reimbursed for medical expenses related to a condition diagnosed before — even shortly before — your policy’s effective date. Qualifying for this waiver often requires meeting specific criteria, such as being medically fit to travel and insuring the entire trip cost.
Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D): This coverage pays out a sum of money if you die, lose a limb or experience vision loss during your trip due to an accident. Depending on the policy, coverage may apply at specific times (while boarding or traveling by plane) or throughout the trip. Some, but not all, policies automatically include this benefit.

Before researching travel insurance for your next trip, keep in mind that some insurers define domestic travel as any trip that takes you over 100 miles from home but is still within the U.S. That means shorter trips may not be eligible for coverage.

Additionally, you may not be covered in all states. Read your policy information thoroughly to understand the coverage exclusions.

According to the NAIC, other common travel insurance exclusions include:

Pandemics (although some companies cover certain losses related to COVID-19)
Pre-existing medical conditions (unless you qualify for a pre-existing condition waiver)
Civil or political unrest at the destination
Pregnancy and childbirth
Coverage for high-risk activities (think snowboarding or parasailing)

You don’t necessarily need to purchase a travel insurance plan for a trip within the U.S., especially if your health insurance plan already offers out-of-state or out-of-network coverage.

Additionally, your auto insurance policy generally extends the same coverage and limits to rental vehicles as to the cars you own, so you may not need additional protection. (And rental car companies may not accept a collision damage waiver from a travel insurer as a valid form of coverage.)

Furthermore, some of the best travel credit cards offer benefits that can duplicate or supplement travel insurance coverage. For example, many top-tier credit cards include trip cancellation and interruption coverage and collision damage waivers for rental cars.

Not all credit cards provide these benefits, however, so review your credit card’s benefits guide or contact the issuer for details. You should also verify whether your credit card’s coverage is primary or secondary to other forms of insurance you’re already carrying.

What you’ll pay for a domestic travel insurance policy will depend on factors such as your age (and the age of your travel companions), the insurance company, the plan and coverage options you choose and the total cost of your trip.

Here are some price examples from various insurers for a $4,500 (total) domestic trip for two travelers.

Read our guide to the best travel insurance companies for more information on these and other insurers. And if you’re planning a cruise, check out our top picks for cruise travel insurance .

Generally, it’s best to buy travel insurance soon after making your initial trip payment. That will ensure you qualify for optional benefits such as CFAR coverage and pre-existing condition waivers.

If you don’t know whether to purchase travel insurance coverage in the first place, consider your risks. Travel insurance may make sense if you’re planning an expensive trip and your airfare or hotel bookings are non-refundable. A policy could reimburse you for some of those expenses if you have to cancel or postpone your travel plans at the “last minute.”

That can be especially true when traveling to a destination where weather-related risks are common. For example, if you’re visiting California during peak wildfire season or Florida during hurricane season, travel insurance could offer peace of mind and financial protection against travel disruptions caused by a natural disaster.

Does travel insurance cover domestic flights?

How much is travel insurance, is travel insurance worth it.

If you’re a U.S. resident traveling to other states, domestic travel insurance may be an option worth considering. A comprehensive travel insurance policy for domestic vacations can cost between 3% and 14% of the total cost of your trip, depending on the coverage options you select.

If you’ve booked expensive, non-refundable accommodations, are traveling to a state where natural disasters are common or don’t have health insurance coverage that extends out of state, travel insurance could offer you a measure of financial protection against common travel mishaps — all for a fraction of the cost of your trip.

Buying travel insurance can be a smart move for most trips, but those who travel more than a few times a year should consider an annual travel insurance policy. Whether you regularly travel for business and/or take several vacations a year, annual travel insurance plans can help you get the coverage you need without having to price out and purchase protection every time you leave home.

If you find yourself in a situation where an annual plan makes sense, know that not all travel insurance companies offer this kind of coverage. You'll also want to consider the available annual travel insurance plans to see which options make sense for your travel style and the level of coverage you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Annual travel insurance plans all work in their own way, but the majority let travelers pay one annual premium for coverage that lasts for up to 364 days. These plans often limit the length of individual trips that are covered within the coverage year. Per-trip and annual limits on coverage can also apply.

In some cases, annual travel insurance plans require a deductible or coinsurance for certain types of coverage. If you're considering an annual travel insurance plan because you take multiple trips each year, make sure you read over the policy details and understand all coverage limits and trip limits that apply.

The cost of annual travel insurance typically varies based on factors like the age of the travelers applying, included benefits and coverage limits. You will want to shop around to compare plans across multiple providers using a platform like TravelInsurance.com or Squaremouth before you settle on a travel insurance policy.

To provide an example of the cost of annual travel insurance, U.S. News applied for a quote for two 40-year-old travelers seeking coverage for eight trips over a 12-month period. The Squaremouth travel insurance portal quoted policies with costs that range from $206 for the GeoBlue Trekker Essential plan to $610 for the Safe Travels Annual Deluxe plan by Trawick International.

Annual travel insurance can be worth it if you take multiple trips each year and want to make sure you always have coverage in place. After all, the alternative to having a multitrip policy is buying a new travel insurance plan for every vacation you take. That's not always feasible for frequent travelers who are always jetting off somewhere new – often at the last minute.

Just keep in mind that annual travel insurance plans tend to come with lower coverage limits than plans for single trips, and that you'll pay a premium for coverage that comes with comprehensive benefits and high limits for medical expenses and emergency evacuation.

If you’re a frequent traveler, annual travel insurance may be something you’ve been considering. Unlike single-trip insurance, annual travel insurance plans can cover you for an entire year, no matter how often you’re on the road.

Let’s look at the best yearly travel insurance companies, why we choose them and the coverage you can expect.

Factors we considered when picking travel insurance companies

We used the following criteria when choosing which companies we thought were best:

Cost . Annual plans can be expensive — depending on the type of coverage you choose — so we wanted ensure that they stayed affordable.

Types of coverage . Travel insurance for annual travelers can be limited in its coverage. We picked the ones with the broadest range of coverage for possible travel disruptions.

Coverage amounts . Annual trip insurance isn’t worth much if your limits are too low. Instead, we wanted plans with reasonable coverage amounts.

Customizability . If your travels take you to different places, you’ll want the ability to customize your plan. The best annual travel insurance plans can provide this.

An overview of the best annual travel insurance

We gathered quotes from various travel insurance companies to determine the best annual travel insurance policies. In these examples, we used a year-long trip by a 22-year-old from Alabama. We indicated the main countries of travel as France and Malaysia, and when asked, put the total trip costs at $6,000.

The average cost for an annual travel insurance plan came out to $220. The plans ranged from $138-$386.

Let’s take a closer look at our top recommendations for annual travel insurance.

1. Allianz Travel

What makes Allianz travel insurance great:

Lower than average cost.

Provides health care and travel insurance benefits.

Includes rental car insurance up to $45,000.

Here’s a snippet from our Allianz Travel insurance review :

“AllTrips Basic (annual plan) is suitable for those who would like emergency medical coverage while abroad but don't need trip cancellation and interruption benefits. The AllTrips Prime, Executive and Premier plans provide an entire year of comprehensive travel insurance benefits.

The Executive and Premier plans offer various levels of trip cancellation and interruption benefits. The Executive plan is specifically designed for business travelers since it offers protection for business equipment.”

2. Seven Corners

What makes Seven Corners great:

Offers up to $20,000 for acute coverage of pre-existing conditions.

Includes up to $1 million for emergency medical evacuation.

“Seven Corners offers one annual policy called Travel Medical Annual Multi-Trip. The policy can be customized depending on how long you plan to be away from home for any one trip.

What makes IMG great:

Good customizability with medical evacuations and sports coverage.

Low $250 deductible.

Includes coverage for semi-private hospital rooms.

Here’s a snippet from our IMG review:

“Some policies provide emergency medical evacuation coverage, while others skip this benefit entirely. This benefit may be more important to you if you travel to a remote location or engage in physical activity such as trekking.

More comprehensive plans may include other benefits such as assistance with acquiring a new passport, reimbursing reward mile redeposit fees or coverage for pre-existing conditions. If these are something you’re interested in, be sure to check that your policy includes these options.”

How to choose the best annual travel insurance policy

While we’ve highlighted some of the best annual travel insurance companies, the truth is that the best plan for you isn’t going to be the best plan for someone else. If you’re interested in buying annual travel insurance, you’ll want to collect a variety of quotes to see which policy best fits your needs.

This may mean opting for a plan that covers pre-existing conditions or one that specifically includes high-risk activities. Or, if you’re in a country where health care is notoriously expensive, you may want to choose a policy with higher maximums.

Many credit cards come with complimentary travel insurance .

Whatever the case, do your research first and review all the plan details before making your purchase.

What is the best domestic plan for senior travellers.

For Australian residents, domestic travel insurance is a type of travel insurance that provides cover for trips taken within Australia.

Depending on the type of policy you buy, most domestic plans for Australia offer coverage for expenses such as lost or damaged luggage and travel documents, rental vehicle insurance excess, additional expenses, amendment or cancellation costs, sporting activities, and winter snow sports.

There are always risks when you travel even on domestic trips. Incidents can happen as easily in Sydney as they can in Singapore, your luggage can become delayed or lost on a flight to Darwin just as they can on a flight to Dublin, and if your child becomes unwell and you need to cancel your trip, it doesn’t matter if you were travelling to Brisbane or to Barcelona.

Travel insurance for Australian trips can help protect you from unexpected mishaps and events outside of your control ruining your trip – and your finances.

While domestic travel insurance does not cover medical expenses in Australia, it provides cover for several other important benefits. For details on what our Cover-More domestic plans cover, view our benefits table below.

Think you can risk travelling in Australia without travel insurance? Here are three claim stories from real-life Cover-More customers who needed the protection of their domestic policy:

A customer was diagnosed with skin cancer and had to cancel their entire family trip. Amendment and Cancellation claim value: $20,000
A customer’s rental car was written off after a third-party collision. Rental Car Insurance Excess claim value: $4,000
An airline lost a customer’s suitcase, and the items were not recoverable. Luggage claim value: $2,500

Find out how affordable cover can be by getting a quote online or call our team on 1300 72 88 22. We can help you find our best domestic travel insurance plan that suits your needs.

At Cover-More, we have three types of domestic plans to allow you to choose the best travel insurance for your trip in Australia:

Domestic Comprehensive+
Domestic Comprehensive
Domestic Basic

Below, you can compare our Domestic Plan benefits and benefit limits:

* Sub-limits apply. Please refer to the PDS for full policy conditions. ~ Cover will not exceed 12 months from onset of the illness, condition, or injury. ^ Cover chosen applies per policy. † Liability collectively for Loss of Income, Disability and Accidental Death is $45,000 on the Comprehensive+ Plan and $30,000 on the Comprehensive Plan. • Item limit applies for any one item, set or pair of items including attached and unattached accessories. You may increase these items limits if You wish. See PDS for full details.

Each domestic travel insurance plan offers different levels of cover, so it’s important to read the PDS to find out what’s best for you, and what you are and aren’t covered for.

Can I add extras to my Cover-More domestic travel insurance policy?

Are you hitting the slopes on your Australian holiday? Or water-skiing on the River Murray? Or maybe you’re planning on motorcycle riding in the countryside?

All our domestic plans allow you to vary your cover by including extra cover for an additional premium. These include cover for:

Snow or winter sports
Motorcycle/moped riding
Adventure activities (beyond those automatically included)

You can add one or more of these options to your cover when you generate a Cover-More quote.

For full details on what each of these options to vary your policy do and don’t cover, read the relevant sections in the PDS .

Can I buy a Cover-More domestic Annual Multi-Trip policy?

Yes, an Annual Multi-Trip policy is available on both our Domestic Comprehensive and Domestic Comprehensive+ plans. (Our Domestic Basic Plan is for Single Trip policies only.)

If you’re a frequent traveller, a domestic annual multi-trip policy for Australia could be handy to have as any trip more than 250 kilometres from your home – or any trip under 250 kilometres if it includes at least one night of paid accommodation with an accommodation provider or supplier – is covered by your domestic policy.

To help find our best domestic travel insurance for you, get a quote online or call us on 1300 72 88 22.

To purchase domestic travel insurance on our website, select “Australia” as your destination under “Where are you going?” in the quote box .

If you’re going on a cruise for two or more nights in Australian waters, select “Domestic Cruise” as your destination to ensure you’re quoted for an international policy that includes cover for medical expenses outside of Australia while on the cruise.

Note: Do not choose “ Australia Inbound ” unless you’re a non-Australian resident visiting Australia.

Continue to fill in the rest of your travel details under “When is your trip?” and “Who is travelling?” and then click ‘Get quote’ to generate a price.

From here, you can select the best domestic travel insurance plan for you, opt for a Single Trip policy (available on all plans) or an Annual Multi-Trip policy (available on our comprehensive plans only), include any options to vary your cover, and advise us of any existing medical conditions you’d like covered before purchasing your policy.

If you need assistance with finding the right plan for you or have questions about cover for an existing medical condition, call us on 1300 72 88 22.

Our Cover-More domestic travel insurance policies can offer coverage in case you need to amend or cancel your trip within Australia for an unexpected reason.

Cancellation cover is not automatically included in our plans, but you can add the amount of cancellation cover that best suits your trip during the quote process. The level of cancellation cover you choose will influence your premium.

Please refer to the PDS for limits, exclusions, and conditions related to our cancellation cover.

Do domestic travel insurance plans provide medical cover?

No, domestic plans in Australia do not provide medical cover to travellers.

This means we’re unable to cover your medical expenses incurred within Australia if you are an Australian resident or eligible overseas representative. We encourage you to contact Medicare or your private health fund to discuss the medical coverage options available to you while you’re in Australia.

Medicare and private health funds do not cover medical facilities on a cruise ship, so it’s important to consider an international travel insurance plan if you want medical coverage for cruise travel. If you’re going on a domestic cruise, we can provide cover for unforeseen medical expenses while you’re on board. You will need to select “Domestic Cruise” as your destination when generating a quote and answer “Yes” to travelling on a cruise for two or more nights for this to apply.

Cruise holidays are an exciting way to see Australia. If you’re about to set sail on a domestic cruise, we can provide travel insurance cover for a domestic cruise with our international plan options.

Did you know Medicare and/or your private health insurance will not cover the costs of using the medical facilities on a cruise ship, even if it is staying within Australian territorial waters? This means you may be out of pocket if you need to see a doctor unexpectedly while on board.

If you’re a Cover-More travel insurance policyholder and you have told us you are going on a cruise, you can be protected from unexpected expenses related to:

Cruise cancellation (when you choose a level of cancellation cover to add to your policy)
Onboard medical and emergency dental
Ship to shore medical expenses
Sea sickness cover

Interested in buying cover for your Australian cruise? Select “ Domestic Cruise ” as your destination in the quote box and then answer “Yes” if you are travelling on a cruise for two or more nights.

Does Cover-More provide cover for domestic driving holidays?

If you’re hitting the road for your domestic holiday in Australia, our Cover-More team can help protect your trip whether you’re hiring a rental vehicle or driving your own car.

If you’re a Domestic Comprehensive or Domestic Comprehensive+ policyholder, you’ll receive the below cover:

You’ll find more information on our domestic travel insurance benefits for driving holidays in Australia here, and we strongly encourage you to read the Product Disclosure Statement so you are aware of what is and isn’t included in the plans.

Note: “rental vehicle” means a campervan/motorhome/caravan that does not exceed six tonnes, SUV, sedan, station wagon, hatchback, people mover, coupe, convertible, four-wheel drive or mini bus rented from a licensed motor vehicle rental company, car club company or agency.

What excess do I pay on Cover-More domestic policies?

A $50 excess applies to our Cover-More Domestic Plans.

An excess is the first part of a claim that we will not pay. The excess amount is applied to each separate claimable event.

The excess does not apply to all sections - see the Domestic Plans benefits table in the PDS, which shows the benefits that an excess applies to in the event of a claim.

Check out our dedicated FAQs for domestic travel insurance for more information.

Being pregnant doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stop travelling – especially when you have that babymoon to take! At Cover-More, we can provide limited travel insurance cover for pregnancy up to the 24th week (23 weeks, 6 days).

For more information, read our travel insurance cover for pregnancy page , or call us on 1300 72 88 22 with any questions.

Limits, exclusions, and conditions apply, so please refer to the PDS for full policy conditions before you consider purchasing this product.

Features of Bharat Bhraman Domestic Travel Insurance

READY FOR BACKPACKING, ARE YOU? The love for travelling is a shared one, almost the biggest unifier on the planet. Be it soaking in the sun with your beloved on a pristine beach, spending quality time with your family or trekking to the most scenic views with your wolf-pack, travelling makes the best of memories that often last your lifetime.

However, amidst all the fun and excitement, there’s always that element of uncertainty. But there is not much reason to worry when you have the cover of Domestic Travel Insurance to cushion you from the bad vibes! One trend that attracts attention here is that people have been found to invest in Travel Insurance only while travelling overseas, but not so much while they’re travelling within the country.

Why this inconsistency when a comprehensive Domestic Travel Insurance Plan can take care of all travel-linked interruptions and provide you a worry-free experience even in your home country! No matter a medical treatment, delay or cancellation of flights, accidents or loss of baggage, there’s not much that a Domestic Travel Insurance policy doesn’t cover.

Most importantly, it assures you complete peace of mind so that you can let your hair down and unwind.

TIME TO BUST SOME MYTHS!

Emergencies like medical emergencies, delay or cancellation of the scheduled flight, thereby leading you to miss another connecting flight and loss of check-in baggage don’t depend on the duration of your trip. Investing in a comprehensive Domestic Travel Insurance Policy can be your way out in these times of stress.

This probably needs the maximum busting, considering it has been doing the rounds for a long time now. When you opt for a Domestic Travel Insurance Plan, you pay a nominal amount for the cover in comparison to what you’d have to pay to manage a medical emergency or loss of baggage out of your own pocket.

Thus, the Domestic Travel Insurance Plan will help you save a lot of money in case of an emergency or a travel mishap. And that just means more funds to plan another trip!

System alert: Biggest myth detected.

No doubt obtaining Domestic Travel Insurance was cumbersome back in the day. But one day, we thought it good to do away with unnecessary complications. And now here we are, having ushered in a day when you can purchase Domestic Travel Insurance online, and (wait for it…) even renew it within seconds once the exiting policy expires.

What Else Domestic Travel Insurance Can Cover Besides healthcare

Editorial team.

September 6, 2024

When we plan a trip in our own country, we often overlook domestic travel insurance, assuming it is only there to cover medical costs. While you might have health insurance in your home country, being insured for a trip should never be an afterthought. While healthcare coverage is crucial, insuring ourselves for domestic travel also comes with numerous benefits that can give us peace of mind and ensure our holidays aren’t ruined by unforeseen circumstances and unexpected costs. We are going to look into five additional ways domestic travel insurance can prove to be extraordinarily useful.

Covering Interruptions, Cancellations, and Missed Connections – Unfortunately, we can’t always take complete control of our travel plans. Flights, train trips, and buses can often be disrupted or cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, leaving us stressed, delayed and out of pocket. Domestic travel insurance can ensure you get reimbursed for any financial loss or additional costs in the event of interruptions and cancellations. Additionally, we may be unable to travel due to sickness, injury, or sudden death of a family member, which domestic travel insurance can also cover.

Helping to Cover the Cost of Lost or Delayed Baggage – Losing our bags or experiencing a baggage delay can cause a tremendous amount of inconvenience to many trips. Domestic travel insurance will typically cover lost, stolen, or damaged items during a holiday, including replacing essential items due to delayed baggage. If this is something you have yet to experience, take it from us that being insured means your trip won’t get ruined.

Providing Personal Liability Coverage – We never know if we are about to inadvertently cause someone an injury or accidentally damage property during a trip. In the unfortunate event of being held liable for legal expenses or compensation, domestic travel insurance can be a lifesaver. A comprehensive domestic travel insurance policy will often protect you financially by providing personal liability coverage against such circumstances.

Giving Us Peace of Mind when Renting a Car – If we are flying somewhere or using public transport within our own country, it is likely that renting a car is the best option for when we arrive at our destination. However, renting a car comes with certain risks, such as damage or theft. Domestic travel insurance can cover any costs associated with these risks, giving us enormous peace of mind. When renting a vehicle that we might not be familiar with, it is much more likely for us to have a bump or scrape a wall, making domestic travel insurance essential.

Assisting Emergency Evacuation – Depending on where we live and where we are going, rare situations can occur where we need to evacuate. Though it is unlikely, these critical situations should never be overlooked. Domestic travel insurance can provide incredible assistance in emergency situations.

Final Thoughts

Not only can domestic travel insurance provide healthcare during unforeseen circumstances, but it can also be a crutch in multiple situations to ensure we are always looked after. When going on any trip, it is crucial to look into the risks involved so your travel insurance provider can give you a policy that covers everything.

Domestic Travel Insurance

Is travel insurance necessary for domestic travel.

Trip Cancellation and Interruption : If your trip is canceled or interrupted due to eligible unforeseen circumstances such as a natural disaster, illness, or death in the family, travel insurance can help provide reimbursement for non-refundable expenses such as flights, hotels, and tours.
Medical Emergencies : If you get sick or injured during your domestic trip, travel insurance can help cover medical expenses such as hospitalization, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation.
Travel Delays : If your flight is delayed or canceled, travel insurance can help reimburse for expenses such as meals, accommodations, and transportation until you are able to reach your destination.
Lost or Stolen Luggage : If your luggage is lost, stolen, or damaged during your domestic trip, travel insurance can help provide reimbursement for the value of your belongings.

Everything You Need to Know About Using Turo, the Airbnb of Cars

The experience was seamless, according to this writer.

Turo is much like Airbnb but for cars: Owners ("hosts") create a profile for their car on the platform and set a price and mileage limits. Prospective renters ("guests") search by location and filter by price, rating, type of car, etc., and rent directly from the hosts.

I came across the Turo car-sharing platform during the pandemic when renting a car for three days would have cost more than a roundtrip flight to Europe. I read multiple accounts of other users' experiences and found mostly positive reviews. As with using any new service for the first time, I had my reservations: What if the car didn't match the photos or description? What if I had car trouble during the trip or got into an accident?

I decided to give Turo a try, and my experience was seamless. Here's what to expect from a Turo vehicle rental.

Choosing a Car on Turo

With Turo, you get to choose the exact car you drive. You can search for specific brands — even Tesla, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce on the higher end. The company has compiled its most special vehicles in a section called wedding getaway cars , where you can find a white convertible or other unique car to make a grand exit. I chose a fuel-efficient Toyota Prius, a car I knew I'd be comfortable with.

Pickup and Dropoff

The closest pickup location was right across the state line in Hoboken, New Jersey, a quick subway ride from my Brooklyn home. The car was located just a five-minute walk from the subway station — a much more convenient pickup spot than the airport, where I typically have to go for a rental car.

Pickup was the most seamless process I've experienced with any rental car service. Instead of waiting in line at an airport counter or riding a shuttle to a lot, I met the Turo host in a specified pickup location (outside an apartment building), was handed the keys, and was on my way in minutes. The car was in pristine condition, very clean, and ran super smoothly.

Dropoff was equally easy. I messaged the host with my ETA and then again when I was nearby. It took just minutes to return the keys, and then I was off to the subway.

Car Troubles and Schedule Changes

Choosing a car with high user reviews is a good way to decrease the likelihood that you'll run into issues with cleanliness or the pickup and dropoff process. Reviews will also give you an idea of any quirks the car has (like the air-conditioning not being very strong or issues with connecting to Bluetooth) and whether the host is flexible and responsive about schedule changes.

If you have issues with the car's condition upon pickup, Turo recommends you communicate with your host immediately and contact Turo support, which is available 24/7. Turo also provides 24-hour roadside assistance to those who purchase a protection plan. If you decide to extend or shorten your trip, just submit a request via the app or through your online Turo account, and your host can either accept or decline it.

Insurance Coverage Through Turo

While some credit cards provide insurance coverage for rental cars, most exclude coverage for peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms like Turo.

Turo offers guests three tiers of insurance coverage — premier, standard, and minimum — but you have the option to decline physical damage coverage entirely. Through the booking process, you will be given the cost of each plan and an overview of coverage. As with all insurance, the more the plan costs, the less you'll have to pay out of pocket for any damage to the host's vehicle. Those who choose to decline a Turo protection plan are responsible for any damage, liability, and claims that could come from their trip.

One thing to note: Turo's protection plans provide third-party liability insurance (i.e., coverage for bodily injury to another person or damage to their property), whereas credit cards usually don't.

Should You Try Turo?

I would recommend Turo to anyone looking to avoid the high prices at traditional car rental agencies and for overall convenience.

As someone who pores over reviews of anything I spend my money on, I appreciated that I could read about the cars and know what to expect from interactions with the host. In the event of an unforeseen issue, I had a direct line of communication with the host rather than having to contact a customer service agent.

Whereas traditional car rental companies have locations at airports and some outposts in cities, Turo's cars are scattered all over (across the U.S. and more than 50 other countries ). Some hosts even offer to deliver the car right to you.

While cost varies widely based on the make, model, your location, and other factors, Turo is often more affordable than traditional car rental. When comparing, pay attention to any additional fees (like a pickup/return fee or an airport fee).

Turo aims to "provide hosts the platform to tap into their entrepreneurial drive," as CEO Andre Haddad explains to Travel + Leisure. Just as Airbnb hosts do with extra rooms in their homes and Depop sellers do with clothes, Turo gives people an opportunity to make money on an item they aren't using. It makes sense to share cars that are sitting unused — and Turo makes the process feel more like borrowing from a friend.

Some people are hesitant to rent through Turo as personal auto insurance might not provide coverage when driving a Turo car, and credit cards typically exclude coverage for peer-to-peer rentals. Of course, you should call your insurance provider or credit card company to ensure you understand what is and isn't covered before selecting Turo coverage.
