Our clients, City Lights Ministries were in Haiti on a mission trip when the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake struck. This team had the same TravelSafe plan recommended below.

Besides the TravelSafe Vacation Classic being a great overall plan, another benefit is TravelSafe covers your medical expenses from an illness or injury, that first manifested itself while on your trip for up to the 52 weeks following the onset of the Sickness or within 52 weeks after the date of the accident. The leader broke her wrist and TravelSafe paid her bills for 5 months after returning home.

Steve Dasseos recommends you get the TravelSafe Vacation Classic plan for your mission trip. We have other plans, but the TravelSafe Vacation Classic plan often is the best all-around coverage without being overpriced.


Mission Trip Travel Insurance Information Page

What is Travel Insurance?

Travel Insurance is financial protection for you when you're taking a trip. For example, if you're hit by a cement truck on your trip, travel insurance can pay your medical bills or pay what your regular insurance doesn't cover. And, Medicare doesn't cover you outside the USA.

  • Travel Insurance also covers you if you need emergency medical transportation.

  • Or, you might have a Travel Delay which forces you to have extra accommodation expenses

  • Or your luggage is delayed, lost, stolen or damaged

  • If your checked luggage doesn't arrive within 12 or 24 hours after you do, you can be reimbursed for items you need to buy.

  • Travel Insurance can also protect you if you're forced to cancel or interrupt your trip because you or a close family member unexpectedly gets hurt or sick

  • Click here to see what else is or isn't covered

Travel Insurance can even cover you if you change your mind and want to cancel your trip. You can get a policy upgrade that lets you cancel your trip for any reason. This adds about 50% to the cost.

What if you get sick on a trip and have ongoing treatment back in the USA or Canada?

Travel Safe all can cover your medical expenses from an illness or injury, that first manifested itself while on your trip, for up to 52 weeks after returning home. You have to seek the initial medical treatment while on your trip.
