Know AAA: TRAVEL

TripAssist

If you are traveling this summer, have you planned for the chance of a medical emergency or other unforeseen event interrupting your trip? Your credit card, homeowner's policy or medical insurance may not be sufficient coverage for you and your family.

Many credit cards and homeowner's policies don't cover everything you need to protect, including some types of emergencies and trip cancellation/interruption. If they do provide coverage, it's often limited. Similarly, most health insurance plans don't provide direct payment to foreign hospitals. They may also have deductibles and won't cover the cost of emergency medical transportation.

AAA's TripAssist (available through Access America ) assures that you will be reimbursed for non-refundable financial expenses associated with a cancelled or interrupted trip, lost baggage or medical emergencies. Exclusions may apply, depending upon the policy you purchase.

This travel protection insures your financial investment (up to the amount of the policy limits) should the trip be cancelled or interrupted for a covered reason, and guards your health in case of medical emergencies.

A few of the benefits: reimbursement of the non-refunded portion of your travel investment if your trip is cancelled or interrupted for a covered reason; 24-hour access to emergency medical referrals and assistance; reimbursement for unexpected travel expenses; protection in case of medical emergencies; arrangements and payment for emergency medical transportation.
