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 Solo Travel Insurance
What Is Solo Travel Insurance?
Solo travel insurance is designed for travelers exploring the world on their own. Unlike policies meant for families or groups, it focuses on the unique challenges you may face without a companion. When you are traveling independently, even a small setback such as a missed connection, illness, or lost passport can feel harder to manage.
AXA’s solo travel insurance helps by providing coverage for medical emergencies abroad, trip cancellations, and lost or stolen belongings. You also have access to 24/7 global assistance that can connect you to medical care, help replace important documents, or adjust your travel plans.
Why is travel insurance important for solo travelers?
Solo travelers face unique challenges because they do not have a companion to help in emergencies. If you get sick, lose your passport, or face a major delay, everything falls on your shoulders. Solo travel insurance provides the support and financial protection you need to handle these situations confidently. With AXA, you have 24/7 global assistance, meaning you are never truly on your own. This added backup makes it easier to navigate unfamiliar countries and unexpected events, so you can enjoy your independence while knowing you always have someone to turn to for help.
What does solo travel insurance cover?
AXA solo travel insurance provides coverage and support for individuals traveling on their own. Core benefits may include eligible medical expenses abroad, reimbursement for trip cancellations or interruptions, and coverage for lost, stolen, or delayed baggage. Travel delay protection can also help with extra costs when plans are disrupted. Beyond coverage, our 24/7 global assistance team is available to connect you with medical care, help replace documents, or support you in rearranging travel plans when unexpected situations occur.
Does AXA solo travel insurance cover medical emergencies abroad?
Yes. Medical emergencies are one of the most important reasons to purchase solo travel insurance. Most U.S. health insurance plans do not cover you outside the country, which can leave you with overwhelming costs if you require treatment overseas. With AXA, solo travelers have access to emergency medical coverage, hospital care, and evacuation if needed. The 24/7 assistance team can also connect you to trusted local doctors and manage communications on your behalf. This ensures that even without a companion to advocate for you, you receive the care and support required during a medical emergency abroad.
What if my documents or wallet are lost?
Losing your passport or wallet is stressful for any traveler, but even more so when you are traveling alone. Solo travel insurance through AXA includes assistance to guide you step-by- step. The support team can connect you with your embassy, help with paperwork to replace documents, and arrange emergency funds if you lose access to money. Baggage and personal effects coverage also helps reimburse the cost of replacing stolen items. These services give solo travelers the security of knowing they will not be left stranded without resources, even if vital items are lost or stolen during the trip.
Can solo travelers get coverage for adventure activities?
Yes. Many solo travelers seek adventure, from mountain treks to diving trips. While standard coverage typically includes lower-risk activities, more adrenaline-filled sports may require an upgraded plan or optional add-on. AXA offers flexible options to cover a wide range of activities, so you can select the protection that matches your trip. For example, if you plan to hike at higher altitudes or take part in water sports, you can choose a plan that includes those activities. This ensures that if you are injured while participating in an adventure, your treatment and related costs are covered.
Is solo travel insurance coverage available for international trips?
Yes. Solo travel insurance is highly recommended for international journeys since risks and costs are often higher outside the U.S. AXA’s plans cover you whether you are exploring nearby countries or taking extended trips overseas. International coverage includes medical expenses, evacuation, trip interruptions, and lost belongings, with higher benefit limits to reflect the needs of long-distance travel. You also gain access to AXA’s worldwide assistance team, who can provide multilingual support and guidance in emergencies. For independent travelers, this international safety net makes it easier to manage disruptions and focus fully on the experience abroad.
