Travel Insurance: Why It Is Important
Even the best-planned adventures can hit unexpected bumps. That’s why we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance - not just for cancellations, but for the many things that can go wrong during your trip.
Travel insurance offers peace of mind far beyond cancellation protection:
Trip interruption or delay coverage for things like missed connections, weather disruptions, or emergency re-routing
Lost or delayed baggage and personal items
24/7 travel assistance, including help with lost IDs, missed flights, medication replacement, and more
Emergency medical care and evacuation, including coverage for unexpected illness or injury while traveling
Coverage for unexpected events at home, such as illness or death of an immediate family member
Pet emergencies, if a veterinary emergency impacts your trip

Common Questions
“Isn't my regular health insurance enough?”
Many U.S. health plans don’t cover you more than 100 miles from home, or may not include out-of-network providers in remote areas.
“Can't I use the travel coverage my credit card offers?"
Credit card travel coverage is often limited and may not include medical evacuation, 24/7 support, or trip interruption. It is often supplemental, so you need to make sure you have opted in for this extra coverage with your card.
“Do I have to buy it?”
Travel insurance is optional and costs extra, but it’s supplemental protection that can save you thousands if something goes wrong.
"Does Wandersaurus sell travel insurance?"
No, Wandersaurus travel advisors are NOT insurance agents. However, we'll be able to connect you with reputable travel insurance agencies. In some cases, working with us gives you access to coverage plans and/or rates not available to the general public.
