The best time to purchase travel insurance is right after you book your trip. Ideally, within 1 to 14 days of your initial trip payment.
Buying early gives you the widest range of benefits, including access to time-sensitive coverages such as:
- Pre-existing medical condition waivers
- Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) options
- Maximum trip cancellation protection
You can still purchase travel insurance up until the day before your departure, but certain benefits may no longer be available after the initial booking window.
