  1. Gather trip details (dates, destinations, itinerary, traveler ages) — Use accurate details to get correct quotes and cover limits.
  2. Determine needed coverage types — List must-haves such as medical, cancellation, and baggage.
  3. Confirm emergency medical and evacuation coverage — Check per-person limits, hospital, and evacuation caps.
  4. Confirm trip cancellation and interruption coverage — Verify covered reasons, reimbursement method, and limits.
  5. Confirm baggage loss, damage, and delay coverage — Check per-item and total limits and delay reimbursement timing.
  6. Check activity and sports coverage — Ensure planned activities at your destination are covered.
  7. Confirm coverage for specific activities (skiing, scuba, climbing) — Look for exclusions or required activity riders.
  8. Add an adventure-sports rider or separate policy if required — Buy a rider before travel if the base policy excludes your sport.
  9. Read exclusion clauses and policy limitations — Watch for pandemic, war, high-risk behavior, and government advisories.
  10. Check pre-existing condition rules and look-back period — Confirm the look-back period and whether a waiver is available.
  11. Disclose pre-existing conditions or obtain a waiver when required — Complete any required medical questionnaires to avoid denied claims.
  12. Compare multiple quotes, policy limits, and insurer reputations — Review limits, deductibles, reviews, and financial strength ratings.
  13. Verify the claims process and required documentation — Note time limits, receipts, police reports, and medical records needed.
  14. Check emergency assistance services and 24/7 support — Confirm hotline numbers, language support, and repatriation help.
  15. Confirm cancellation/refund rules and cooling-off period — Know your right to cancel and any refund timelines or fees.
  16. Buy the policy and save digital and printed copies — Save policy documents, receipts, and emergency contact details.
  17. Add optional upgrades or reduce your excess if needed — Consider add-ons for higher limits or lower deductibles.
  18. Store your policy number and insurer hotline in your phone — Keep an accessible copy with traveler contacts and itinerary.
