Cheap Annual Travel Insurance
Budget-friendly annual coverage that doesn't cut corners on emergency medical and evacuation.
Worth it if you travel: 2+ international trips per year
Compare Annual Plans →Annual travel insurance doesn't have to be expensive. For young, healthy travelers making 2–4 international trips per year, comprehensive annual coverage is available for under $150/year — that's often less than a single specialty coffee each month. The key is knowing which coverage elements are essential and which are nice-to-have.
What's Covered on Every Trip
Emergency Medical (Essential)
$100,000–$500,000 in emergency medical coverage — the most important benefit. Even 'cheap' plans must include strong emergency medical.
Emergency Evacuation (Essential)
A minimum of $250,000–$500,000 in evacuation coverage — this is non-negotiable regardless of budget. An evacuation without coverage can cost $80,000–$250,000.
Acute Onset Pre-existing Conditions
Available on budget plans at no additional cost — a key differentiator from truly cheap plans worth avoiding.
24/7 Emergency Assistance
Available on all recommended plans — the service behind the policy when something actually goes wrong.
