Travelex Insurance keeps its lineup to three plans and publishes a full side-by-side benefit table. Essential covers trip cancellation and interruption up to $10,000 each, $25,000 of emergency medical cover and $200,000 for evacuation. Advantage raises interruption to $12,500, medical to $50,000 and evacuation to $250,000. Ultimate covers cancellation at 100% of trip cost up to $50,000, interruption up to $75,000, travel delay up to $2,000 and evacuation up to $1,000,000, and it waives the pre-existing condition exclusion if you buy within 21 days of your first trip payment and insure the full trip cost. A cancel for any reason upgrade reimburses up to 75% of prepaid costs, up to $7,500, but only for trips costing $10,000 or less. All three plans have a 21-day review period, and one companion aged 17 or younger can be covered at no extra cost. Trips must be at least 100 miles from home, and the two lower plans stop at 30 days.
