Frequently Asked Questions

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.

If these conditions are satisfied, ongoing conditions such as diabetes, asthma, or heart conditions may be covered if they result in a covered medical need or travel disruption during your trip.

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.

Is the Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan suitable for family travel?

 

Yes. The Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan includes benefits that may be helpful for families traveling together. Individual coverage can be purchased for multiple family members under the same plan, making it easier to manage protection for the entire group.

Families may benefit from trip interruption coverage of up to 150% of the insured trip cost, which may help reimburse rebooking expenses, unused prepaid travel, or additional accommodations if plans are unexpectedly cut short.

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.

What assistance services are included?

 

The Explorer Select Plan includes 24/7 worldwide travel assistance provided by AXA’s multilingual support team. Assistance services may include help with replacing a lost or stolen passport, locating medical facilities, arranging hospital visits, or coordinating emergency medical evacuations.

In certain situations, such as natural disasters or security-related events, the assistance provider may also help coordinate non-medical emergency transportation. These services are designed to support travelers during unexpected situations while abroad.

How can I purchase the Explorer Select Plan?

 

Purchasing the Explorer Select Plan is quick and straightforward. You can choose the option that works right for you:

How does baggage protection work under the Explorer Select Travel Protection Plan?

 

The Explorer Select Plan includes up to $1,500 in coverage for baggage and personal effects, along with up to $300 for baggage delays. If your luggage is delayed, this benefit may help reimburse the cost of essential items such as toiletries or clothing. If baggage is lost, stolen, or damaged, covered items may be reimbursed up to the policy limits.

These benefits are designed to help travelers manage common baggage-related disruptions while traveling.
