Travel Insurance Isn’t Just About Cancelling a Trip

It's an uncertain world. But one thing that is near certain is that unexpected medical emergencies are usually expensive. Lately we've gotten quite a few inquiries from clients asking not just about travel protection insurance, but also medical coverage for those unexpected events that may occur particularly on cruise ships or international travel when existing medical insurance coverage would no longer apply.


When most travelers hear the phrase travel insurance, they immediately think about one thing: trip cancellation. And while that is certainly an important benefit, many travelers are surprised to learn that modern travel protection plans can also include medical coverage while you are actually traveling.


Through our partnership with Tin Leg Travel Insurance, JMart Travels clients have access to a variety of travel protection options that may include coverage for trip cancellation, medical emergencies while traveling, and even emergency evacuation.

Trip Cancellation Protection

Trip cancellation coverage may reimburse prepaid travel expenses if you need to cancel a trip for a covered reason such as illness, injury, or other unexpected events.

For many travelers, especially those taking cruises or international trips, this can provide important financial protection.


Emergency Medical Coverage While Traveling

Another benefit many travelers overlook is emergency medical coverage during your trip. If an illness or injury occurs while traveling, some of our TinLeg travel insurance policies may reimburse reasonable and customary medical expenses related to treatment during the trip.


Covered expenses may include:

• Physician or hospital services

• X-rays and diagnostic testing

• Ambulance transportation

• Emergency dental treatment

• Medically necessary care during your trip


Emergency Medical Evacuation Coverage

Some of the TinLeg travel protection plans also include medical evacuation coverage, which can help transport travelers to the nearest appropriate medical facility if a serious medical situation occurs. In certain situations, this may even include transportation back home once the traveler is stable.

Medical evacuations — especially from cruise ships or international destinations — can sometimes cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is why many experienced travelers choose to carry coverage.


How Much Does Travel Insurance Cost?

Travel insurance pricing varies depending on several factors including:

• Trip cost

• Traveler age

• Destination

• Coverage level


Many plans typically fall within a range of about 5–10% of the total trip cost, though options vary widely depending on the coverage selected.


Coverage Options Even If You Didn't Book Through JMart Travels


Another helpful feature of our Tin Leg partnership is that travelers do not need to book their trip through JMart Travels to explore travel insurance options. If you already have a trip planned and simply want to review available travel protection options, you can browse policies and compare coverage here:


A Simple Way to Travel with More Peace of Mind

Most travelers think of travel insurance as something you only buy if you’re worried about cancelling a trip. But many people are surprised to learn that modern travel insurance plans can also help cover unexpected medical expenses during a trip, along with services like emergency evacuation, hospital coordination, and medical transport home if needed.


While most trips go exactly as planned, travel insurance is one of those things you hope you never need — but are very glad to have if something unexpected happens far from home.

But for many trips — especially cruises, international travel, or significant prepaid vacations — having coverage available can provide valuable peace of mind.
