AXA Couples Travel Insurance Benefits
With AXA, you both get individual protection while traveling together on one shared journey.
Trip Cancellation Protection
If one of you needs to cancel for a covered reason, we can help reimburse the non- refundable costs you have already paid, such as flights, hotels, or tours.
Does Couples Travel Insurance Mean We Share One Policy?
At AXA, couples travel insurance means both of you are protected through separate individual plans, not a shared policy. Each of you purchases your own coverage, but planning together helps ensure you're both prepared for the same trip.
Here is how having individual plans works when you travel as a couple:
Each of you has coverage tailored to your own travel needs.
Trip cancellation benefits apply only to the traveler who cancels.
Lost or delayed baggage is handled separately for each traveler.
One partner's claim does not affect the other’s policy.
Both of you have access to 24/7 assistance for emergencies.
By arranging your coverage side by side, both of you stay equally supported throughout the trip. With AXA, you can explore together with confidence, knowing that each of you has your own protection and that we are here to help whenever you need us.
Does It Cover Lost or Stolen Belongings for Both of Us?
Yes. When traveling as a couple, each traveler’s belongings are covered separately under their own policy. This means that if one partner’s luggage is lost, stolen, or delayed, their claim will be processed individually, while the other partner’s coverage remains fully intact.
For example, if your suitcase is delayed for several days while your partner’s arrives on time, you can be reimbursed for the cost of essential items you need to buy until your bag is returned.
Similarly, if valuables or travel gear are stolen from one traveler, that loss is evaluated under their policy without affecting the other’s coverage. This separation ensures that both of you can travel with confidence, knowing your personal items are individually protected.
Coverage for belongings may include:
Reimbursement for lost or stolen luggage and essentials.
Compensation for delayed bags to cover urgent purchases.
Protection for personal effects such as clothing, electronics, or travel gear.
For couples, this setup provides practical reassurance. Even though you are traveling together, your belongings are protected on an individual basis, which helps reduce stress if one partner experiences a loss while the other does not.

Our travel protection supports the kinds of journeys couples remember most, offering coverage that can include:
Support if flight delays or cancellations disrupt carefully timed celebrations
Coverage for recreational activities like kayaking, zip-lining, or skiing, with options to include higher-risk adventures
Reimbursement for meaningful belongings such as gifts, gear, or event outfits that are lost, stolen, or delayed
If an emergency arises, we help coordinate care so you can stay focused on what matters most.
They share their story
“They made an awful experience so much easier! Coordinated travel to get off an island and back, paid for the Dr visit so I had no out of pocket expenses, and paid for a hotel for the night. I wish all insurance companies were this easy to work with! Plus the staff was friendly, caring, kind, and engaged. They were incredibly helpful and very prompt with their service.”

FAQs About Couples Travel Insurance
What is couples travel insurance?
At AXA, couples travel insurance means each of you has your own policy, but you plan your protection together. We provide individual coverage for both travelers, so if plans change or something unexpected happens, neither of you is left without support. Whether you're partners, newlyweds, or travel companions, we help you prepare for cancellations, medical needs, or lost belongings. Our assistance team is here for either of you at any time. When you arrange coverage side by side with us, you can travel with greater confidence knowing we are supporting both of you throughout your journey.
Why should couples get travel insurance together?
Travel insurance is important for anyone, but especially for couples traveling as a pair. If one partner’s trip is disrupted due to illness, injury, or another covered reason, both travelers are often affected. By arranging coverage together, couples ensure that each traveler has protection in place. This helps with cancellations, medical care abroad, and lost or delayed belongings. It also gives both partners access to 24/7 assistance, so they are supported during emergencies. Planning coverage side by side helps make sure no one is left uncovered while traveling.
What happens if one partner cancels but the other continues the trip?
If one traveler cancels their trip due to a covered reason, that individual may be reimbursed for prepaid, non-refundable expenses. The other partner can still travel as planned, with their coverage remaining active. This flexibility ensures that couples do not lose protection if only one person needs to cancel. For example, if one partner gets sick before departure, their policy covers their expenses, while the other partner can continue with coverage intact. This structure allows couples to book trips together but still maintain individual protection for cancellations or changes.
Are both partners covered for medical emergencies abroad?
Yes. Each traveler’s policy includes coverage for eligible medical treatment and emergency care. If one partner requires hospitalization abroad, their plan provides reimbursement and support. The other partner, even if uninjured, continues to have full protection under their own policy. AXA’s 24/7 assistance team also helps coordinate care, arrange hospital transfers, or organize an evacuation if needed. This ensures that both partners are protected individually but can rely on the same global support system. Couples gain reassurance knowing that each traveler has equal access to coverage in medical emergencies.
Does it cover lost or stolen belongings for both of us?
Yes. Each traveler’s belongings are covered under their own policy. If one partner’s luggage is lost or delayed, that claim is handled independently from the other traveler’s coverage. This means that if one partner’s bag goes missing, they can be reimbursed for essentials, while the other partner’s policy remains unaffected. Items such as clothing, electronics, or valuables may be included up to policy limits. Having coverage for both ensures that neither traveler is left without support if belongings are stolen, damaged, or delayed, helping couples continue their trip with fewer disruptions.
Is couples travel insurance available for international trips?
Yes. Couples travel insurance is often most valuable for international travel, where risks and costs are higher. Many U.S. health insurance plans do not cover care abroad, so having medical and evacuation coverage is essential. AXA’s plans also include trip interruption and cancellation benefits, baggage coverage, and 24/7 global assistance that can be accessed worldwide. Whether traveling to one destination or multiple countries, both partners have their own policy in place. This makes international journeys easier to manage, knowing that coverage extends across borders and both travelers are equally protected.
