Driving and Road Trip Insurance

Travel Insurance for Road Trips

The classic road trip remains a favorite vacation style among many travelers. Since they are in the safety and familiarity of their own car for the majority of the trip, many people don't give a thought to possible limitations in coverage under their primary auto insurance policy while on a road trip. Before starting your road trip, you should carefully review your primary auto insurance to make sure it provides sufficient coverage like out-of-state travel, enough liability protection for all of your passengers, and other situations unique to your road trip plans.

While Arch RoamRight plans provide coverage for trip cancellation and medical emergencies, which can both effect road trips, these plans do not cover your own personal vehicle for collision insurance. However, if you choose to rent a car for your road trip, Arch RoamRight offers renter’s collision insurance (which includes damage and theft protection). You should note that, although car rental agencies can also sell you rental insurance for your road trip, it often works in daily charge increments which can quickly become very expensive. It helps to do your research before you approach the rental car counter.

If your road trip is taking you more than 100 miles away from home, Arch RoamRight provides protection for medical emergencies as well. Many of Arch RoamRight’s plans provide medical coverage including medical evacuation coverage, emergency reunion to bring someone to your bedside if traveling alone, and return of dependent children to your home if they are with you when you're hospitalized.
