New Ways Travel Insurance Can Keep You Safe When You're Traveling
Travel insurance can warn you of imminent dangers such as wildfires. getty Travel insurance may cover you if you get into trouble on your next vacation. But what if travel insurance could help you avoid trouble? Consider a natural disaster like the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. If you'd had a travel insurance policy with Travelex and downloaded its Travel On app to your phone, the insurance company would have sent you real-time updates and access to support. "These alerts can help you react quickly and adjust your plans, which might mean finding a safer area to avoid disruptions," says Will Nihan, CEO of Travelex Insurance Services. "It's an effective way travelers can stay informed and prepared while they're traveling.' This summer, travel insurance companies are embracing a simple idea: If they can keep their policyholders safe, they can prevent a claim from being filed — and that's a win for everyone. The timing is good. Travelers are more worried about safety than ever. A recent survey by Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (BHTP) listed international terrorism, environmental issues like extreme weather or natural disasters, and flight disruptions as their top three perceived travel threats for 2025. A poll of Medjet members reveals 76 percent are more worried about traveling this year. Mike Hallman, CEO of Medjet, says his company had to expand its membership services department to keep up with an influx of calls. "People are definitely more concerned," he says. What should you look for in your travel insurance if you're trying to stay safe this summer? John Rose, chief risk officer for ALTOUR, a global corporate travel management company, says the newest travel insurance policies address those concerns with a list of new security features. "Travelers need a comprehensive and adaptable policy to handle the complexities of today's travel landscape," he says. They include: 24/7 assistance services: These should cover a wide range of needs, from emergency medical assistance to navigating local emergencies like natural disasters or political unrest. Medical evacuation coverage: This is essential, especially when traveling to remote or high-risk areas. Ensure the policy covers transportation to a medical facility and the logistics of getting home if necessary. Security evacuation services: With the increasing frequency of civil unrest and political instability, policies should also include evacuation services for travelers in unsafe situations. Travel delay and interruption protection: If flights are delayed or canceled due to weather, strikes, or other unforeseen circumstances, these protections ensure that travelers are not left stranded or without resources. "The travel industry has seen a rise in travel disruptions like flight delays caused by mechanical breakdowns or weather in the travel world," says Terry Boynton, president of Yonder Travel Insurance. "Flights affected by mechanical breakdowns, bad weather, or unannounced strikes could allow travelers to file a claim for lost or out-of-pocket expenses.' One of the newest innovations is real-time alerts like the one introduced by Travelex. It turns out other companies also have new real-time alerts. Real-time alerts can keep you out of trouble this summer Travel insurance companies have added real-time alerts to their apps. Allianz Partners provides geolocation-specific safety and security alerts through its Allyz mobile app. "Should travelers find themselves in an emergency, they can also access a list of local emergency phone numbers and the location of U.S. embassies and consulates through the Allyz app," says Allianz spokesman Dan Durazo. "The app also provides one-touch dialing to reach Allianz's travel assistance team, which can help insured customers with nearly any travel-related problem." Allyz' latest trick: Helping policyholders find medical assistance when traveling outside of the United States. The company recently introduced a doctor visit scheduling service, which gives customers traveling internationally the ability to schedule doctor appointments for unforeseen medical events that require urgent medical attention — anything from a stomach bug to a migraine. The cost of these visits is covered under your policy. Medical help is a popular new travel insurance benefit Travel insurance that provides telehealth services is a trend. 'We're seeing more global telemedicine services included in travel insurance, and it's a game-changer for travelers," says Cai Glushak, chief medical officer for AXA Partners North America. "Being able to connect with a doctor without scrambling to find a hospital in a foreign country makes a huge difference. Whether it's a virtual consultation, prescription help, or just quick medical advice, it ensures convenience and peace of mind to the traveler, especially in a foreign healthcare environment.' For example, Insubuy, a visitors' insurance company, introduced a new feature called Air Doctor this year. It's a mobile-friendly portal that allows policyholders to connect and schedule appointments with English-speaking doctors anywhere in the world. "Advanced telehealth services like these are a great extra measure of security to consider when choosing a travel insurance plan," says James Nuttall, vice president of operations at Insubuy. Medical services like those offered by Insubuy, Allianz and Travelex represent one of the biggest travel insurance innovations for 2025, according to experts. "Many travel insurance companies have begun offering doctors whom travelers can call for medical advice while on vacation," says Megan Rodrigues, owner of Together We Travel, a travel agency. "They are on call 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns that arise. This increases safety exponentially as it eliminates travel time and, in some cases, safety concerns at the local facilities." Travel insurance is adapting to the needs of travelers Taken together, these new features represent a shift in the way travel insurance covers its customers. It's moving away from one-size-fits-all to a product that can protect people no matter where — or how — they travel. That's the assessment of Dean Van Es, CEO of Fast Cover Travel Insurance. "For example, some travel insurance providers now offer coverage for a range of common situations through packs designed for adventure sports, winter sports, and motorcycle trips," he explains. "Of course, it will depend on the exact scenario whether a claim is supported, but this type of insurance can offer travelers some security when taking part in risky activities during their vacation." Robert Gallagher, President of the US Travel Insurance Association, says it's just one-way travel insurance is changing to keep travelers safer. "Travel insurance continues to evolve with new innovations designed to keep travelers safe, especially as global travel risks grow," he says. Looking down the line to fall and winter, he expects travel insurance to continue to change. More providers will offer 24/7 assistance services to provide immediate help during medical emergencies, travel disruptions or security threats. He also sees more insurance companies offering advanced translation services to ensure travelers can communicate effectively with local authorities, medical providers and transportation services. And he sees more providers offering real-time security alerts and location-based updates to help travelers stay informed of potential risks. After all, the best travel insurance doesn't just cover you when something goes wrong — it helps prevent things from going wrong.

Skipping the U.S. and taking a vacation to East Coast this year? It will cost you.
FREDERICTON — In September 2024, Natasha Beitman Brener and her husband decided to take a three-week vacation to Canada's East Coast. Beitman Brener, a lawyer in Kingston, Ont., spent about six months planning the trip, looking at various options to stay in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. "We are young, we don't have all the money in the world, we have a mortgage. So we went on this trip and we thought, 'oh, this will be affordable compared to something like Japan' . … We were going to cook our own food," she said in a recent interview. They rented a recreational vehicle in Montreal for about $6,000, and between campground parking fees, gasoline, groceries, park passes, a round of golf, and a couple of dinners out, Beitman Brener said the total added up to $15,000. "It was the most incredible trip. We loved it. It was worth it. It was incredible. The East Coast is so extraordinary," she said. "But it was $15,000 and we talked to our friend — they went to Japan for three weeks for the same price, with flights. And I said to my husband, 'well, we could have gone to Japan for the same price.'" This year, as a trade war grinds on with the United States, Canadians who decide to vacation within their country are realizing their patriotism comes with a hefty price tag — and some are choosing to scale back their plans. For Alick Tsui, a St. John's, N.L., resident, a recent five-day, two-person trip to Port Rexton, N.L., cost him about $3,000. He is avoiding spending his dollars in the United States because of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and comments of annexing Canada. But high prices are forcing him to cut costs for future trips in Canada. "Before I would stay for four nights, now I may cut it down to three nights. But that won't change my plan to travel." Tsui said he and his wife try to save money with "economical" lunches from gas stations. "But nighttime, we try to find whatever we can to have a good meal. Not expensive, but a good meal," he said. The couple went to Vietnam and Thailand earlier this year for about 10 days; that trip cost about one-third the price that he usually pays for a week's vacation in Canada. Beitman Brener, meanwhile, says she wanted to take a mother-daughter vacation this month after the lawyer had some unexpected time off. The duo sought to travel within Canada on a budget of $3,000 for four nights and five days. They too are avoiding travelling to the United States. She looked into several locations, including Quebec City and Manitoulin Island in Ontario, but — even with sharing a hotel or Airbnb room — their accommodation costs would have been about $3,000. Along with food and gas, the total would have been about $6,000, she said. They couldn't justify the cost so they chose to spend two nights at a boutique hotel in their hometown. The fact each vacation has to be planned down to every meal because of high costs has removed some of the joy of taking a spontaneous holiday in Canada, she said. A scan of individual round trip flights from Toronto to cities on the East Coast for the week of Aug. 18 -23 showed prices to Halifax ranging from around $700 for Flair Airlines to nearly $1,700 for WestJet; about $1,200 via Air Canada to $2,500 via Air Transat to St. John's; and between $1,500 and $3,000 on Air Canada to Charlottetown. A vehicle rental for five days the week of Aug. 18 -23 in Halifax, St. John's, and Charlottetown ranged from an average of $1,500 for an SUV to $1,000 for a sedan. For the week, hotel rooms in Halifax, St. John's and Prince Edward Island ranged from around $200 a night to $500. Richard Powers, associate professor at University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, said two main reasons can help explain why travel within Canada is so expensive — lack of competition among airline services and fallout from COVID-19. Airlines haven't reinstated some of routes they cut down at the height of the pandemic, he said. How long the fallout from COVID-19 will last is anybody's guess, Powers said. "That's the million-dollar question." When it comes to accommodation, he said the high prices can be blamed on minimal supply. "I'm just booking Vancouver for the fall, and I'm having trouble finding a place for under $500 a night," he said. "That's a lot." Restaurant bills in Canada add up — when compared with those in Europe — because of the tipping culture that adds 15 to 20 per cent for each meal, he said. With the push to support Canadian tourism, Powers said, people are willing to pay "a bit of a premium." "How much premium is the question? And it's almost getting out of control."

Phone Theft Is More Common Than You Think While Traveling—but This Foolproof Hack Will Keep Your Device Safe
I've had some unforgettable travel moments, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, paragliding over the Swiss Alps, and riding ATVs through Mallorca, but nothing stuck with me like getting my phone stolen in Barcelona. Twice. The first time, it vanished from my bag. The second time I was mid-scroll when a passing cyclist swooped in and snatched it out of my hand. Three years later, I'm still on a mission to make sure it never happens again. 46 percent of travelers have had valuables lost or stolen abroad, and 35 percent have had a tech device stolen, according to a study from All About Cookies (an informational website that provides tips about digital security). Now, whenever someone tells me they're going abroad, I give them this important piece of advice: Keep your phone physically connected to you. It might sound over-the-top, but according to a Global Rescue Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey, one in five international travelers have lost their phone or had it stolen while abroad. So whether it's with a crossbody bag or a lanyard, your phone needs to stay secure. If I'd had either one in Barcelona, I could've saved myself thousands in replacement phones—and a lot of dramatic calls to Verizon. To help you avoid becoming a statistic, I found the best ant-theft crossbody bags and phone lanyards on Amazon—all starting at just $9. The warm brown shade and gold hardware on this bag will instantly elevate your travel outfit, and the crossbody design keeps your phone and essentials right in front of you, so you never have to sacrifice security for style.

Its front-facing design deters pickpockets, while the water-resistant fabric protects your phone from surprise downpours or sweaty adventure days—because no one wants their phone ruined halfway through a trip. When you want to travel light but keep your phone secure and easy to grab, this compact crossbody delivers—with the bonus of RFID-blocking protection to guard your cards against digital theft. Available in 30 different designs, it's as stylish as it is functional. One traveler raved, 'No more digging into the bottom of my purse or backpack when I want to take a photo,' while others call it their go-to bag for sightseeing.

Travelers have spotted these everywhere in Europe, with shoppers raving about the lanyard's convenience for boat excursions. One reviewer shared that they no longer fear dropping their phone in the ocean while taking pictures. This stylish lanyard strap lets you carry your phone around your neck, across your body, or from your wrist, all while keeping it secure and pickpocket-proof.

Equal parts style and function, this rope strap turns your phone into an elevated accessory while keeping it safe from grab-and-go theft. The nylon strap is adjustable for comfort, and it's chic enough to blend into dinner outfits without looking like a tourist gadget. With a hypoallergenic faux leather strap, this universal lanyard is made for travelers who want both comfort and security. Its anti-drop and anti-snatch design keeps your phone close in crowded areas like markets or train stations—without compromising on style. It comes in several colors, including a few black options for anyone who wants to be super inconspicuous.
