Travel Guard offers five main plans for U.S. residents: Deluxe, Preferred, Essential, Pack N' Go and an Annual Plan, plus a Medevac Per Trip plan for stays up to 365 days. Its Preferred plan, which Travel Guard calls its most popular, covers trip cancellation up to 100% of insured trip cost with a $150,000 maximum and trip interruption up to 150% with a $225,000 maximum. It adds trip exchange up to 50% of trip cost, a Trip Saver benefit up to $2,500, trip delay up to $800 at $200 a day after 5 hours, travel medical up to $50,000 and emergency evacuation up to $500,000. One child 17 and under is included in the rate for each paying adult. Optional upgrades and bundles let you raise baggage limits or add pet cover. Travel Guard does not publish prices, but says a quote takes two minutes or less, and every plan has a 15-day look period. The $50,000 medical limit on Preferred is modest for long trips abroad.
