What types of travel insurance coverage does Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance offer?

Although we often talk about travel insurance in the singular, there are more than one type of travel insurance coverage. Allianz Global Assistance offers the following types of travel insurance coverage:

• Single Trip: This is the basic coverage for a single, short-term trip. In most cases, this is all the coverage travelers need.
• Annual Coverage: Frequent travelers may benefit from purchasing ongoing coverage instead of getting insurance for each trip.
• Group Plans: If you are arranging a trip for a group of four or more people who are not elated you may want to consider this type of coverage. Group travel plans typically provide the same benefits, including the coverage amounts, as individual travel plans but at a discounted rate.
• Long-Term International Coverage: If you are planning to be abroad for more than a few months, a regular policy may not be enough. Consider purchasing a long-term international policy that offers the medical and travel assistance coverage you need.
