Did you know that the U.S. Department of State recommends travel insurance for anyone traveling abroad? It’s true — in fact, they think travel insurance is so important they even say so in every U.S. passport.

So before you leave on your vacation, take a look at your passport, you might want to reconsider trip protection.

You’ll see the U.S. State Department recommends checking your health insurance benefits before traveling abroad because most policies (including Medicare) won’t cover you outside the United States. This means unless you have travel insurance, you could be on your own if you get sick or injured during your trip, and you don’t want that to happen to you.

   Allianz Global Travel Insurance can get your vacation back on track after an unexpected covered emergency by helping you find a pre-screened hospital and covering the cost of your treatment. Plus, it can protect you from trip cancellations and interruptions, lost or stolen luggage, and more.
