Does the Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan cover pre-existing medical conditions?
The Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan may provide coverage for pre-existing medical conditions if certain requirements are met. The plan must be purchased within 14 days of your initial trip deposit, and you must be medically able to travel at the time of purchase.

This benefit is designed to support travelers with existing medical conditions who want coverage for unexpected medical expenses while traveling.
Does the Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan meet Schengen Visa requirements?
Yes. The Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan meets Schengen Visa insurance requirements, including minimum medical and emergency evacuation coverage for entry into the 29 Schengen countries. Travelers receive a certificate of coverage that may be used as proof when applying for a visa. This makes the plan suitable for travel to Europe for leisure, business, or study, with coverage aligned to consular expectations.

In addition, baggage coverage of up to $1,500 may help protect items such as strollers, electronics, clothing, or baby gear, while baggage delay coverage of up to $300 may help with essential purchases until bags arrive.
