Is travel insurance required to enter Italy? 

Your Visa status will determine if you need travel insurance.  For example, international tourists who require a Schengen Visa to enter Italy must have valid travel insurance to apply for an Italian visa. However, if you can travel to Italy visa-free, then travel insurance is not mandatory.  

Why should you buy Travel Insurance to visit Italy? 

If you have a Schengen Visa, you must purchase travel insurance to enter Italy and other Schengen countries.  We recommend purchasing a trip cancellation insurance policy that provides additional coverage if something unforeseen were to occur while visiting.  Our Trip Cancellations policies also offer benefits for trip delay and trip interruption and on select plans, we offer the Cancel for Any Reason Benefit. 

Do Trawick International trip cancellations plans cover COVID-19? 

Yes, most of our plans treat COVID-19 like any other sickness. 

Optional Cancel for Any Reason coverage: 

On select trip cancellation plans, Trawick International offers the hard to find Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) benefit that provides reimbursement for 75% of the prepaid, nonrefundable, forfeited payments you paid for your trip if you cancel your trip for any reason not otherwise covered by this policy - like border closures or travel bans.  This coverage MUST be purchased with the initial policy and within 21 days of the initial trip deposit date, and the full, nonrefundable trip cost is insured. (This benefit is not available in every US state). 

How much does travel insurance cost?

Many factors contribute to the cost of your travel insurance, such as your age, trip cost, length of trip, and other factors.  Please remember when you purchase a trip cancellation plan with Trawick International to include all non-refundable travel expenses so you can recover the investment if your trip is canceled or interrupted. 

When should I buy travel insurance? 

We recommend purchasing travel insurance within 21 days of the initial trip deposit date and include all prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs. By doing this, you will be eligible for CFAR and Financial default on a select trip cancellation plan. Please remember you can still purchase travel insurance after 21 days, but you may not be eligible for certain travel benefits.
