Frequently Asked Questions
We've put together a list of questions that we hear most often from travelers.
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance helps protect you from unexpected problems that can happen before or during a trip. It can cover medical emergencies abroad, trip cancellations, delays, or lost baggage. Some plans also include personal liability, which protects you if you accidentally cause damage or injury. You also have access to worldwide assistance that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That means wherever you go, there is always someone ready to help, so you can travel with confidence and focus on enjoying your journey. Learn more about Travel Insurance.
How do I choose the right plan for my trip?
Consider your destination, trip length, activities, and any pre-existing medical conditions. International or adventure travel may require higher medical and evacuation limits. AXA offers a range of coverage options so you can choose a plan that truly matches your trip and gives you the right level of confidence while traveling. Compare our plans.
How much does Travel Insurance cost?
At AXA, we offer travel plans to ensure you are getting the necessary coverage for your trip. The cost of travel insurance varies from carrier to carrier. The price of travel insurance depends on several things, such as your age, the destination, the length of your trip, the coverage you select, and any pre-existing medical conditions. Learn what some of these factors are.
Can I get coverage for pre-existing medical conditions?
Yes, certain AXA plans include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions if eligibility rules are met. This usually requires purchasing your travel insurance within a set period after your initial trip deposit. When eligible, a waiver ensures your medical history does not prevent you from being protected. Learn more.
How do I file a claim?
Filing a claim with AXA is simple. You can start online, by phone, or by email. Our claims team will guide you step by step so that all required documents are complete. This helps speed up the process and avoids delays. Most claims are reviewed and processed quickly, and you can track your progress online or receive updates directly from our specialists. We understand that claims are usually made during stressful times, which is why our goal is to handle them as smoothly as possible. With AXA, you can count on clear communication and reliable support.
Will AXA provide assistance while I’m traveling?
Yes, AXA provides 24-hour worldwide assistance to support you anywhere you go. Our multilingual team can arrange medical treatment, coordinate emergency evacuations, help replace a lost passport, or make changes to your travel plans. Whether you face a sudden illness, a travel delay, or a lost item, our assistance team is always just a phone call away. Travelers trust AXA because of our strong global network and quick response. With us by your side, you are never left alone to deal with problems during your trip.
What does Travel Insurance cover on a cruise?
Cruises are exciting, but they also come with risks that regular health insurance may not cover. Travel insurance for cruises can pay for onboard medical treatment, emergency evacuation to a hospital on land, missed connections, or trip interruptions. It may also cover lost or stolen belongings at sea. If you’re new to cruising or want to better understand your options, learn more about our Cruise Travel Insurance.
Does Travel Insurance have COVID benefits?
At AXA Travel Insurance, we recognize that the outbreak has created unprecedented challenges for travelers and have sought to offer coverage that is relevant and useful in the current context. One of the most significant changes that we have made is to include COVID coverage in many of our policies. Learn more
