When you’re visiting Mexico for leisure or on package vacation, and for other short-term visits that will not exceed more than 90 consecutive days, you can get coverage for the expense of unforeseen trip cancellations, disruptions, and unexpected medical expenses during your stay. The plan also gives other benefits including a round-the-clock travel assistance service.
This article describes what a trip insurance plan is, and how you can use this type of insurance to cover your trips to Mexico.
What is a trip protection plan?
When you’re visiting Mexico on a short-term basis —for no more than 90 consecutive days— a trip protection plan (sometimes referred to as trip cancellation insurance) will mitigate the costs of unexpected travel and medical expenses in the event of delays, interruptions, cancellations, as well as medical emergencies and evacuation.
Our associate offers trip insurance plans which protect the investment you’ve made in your trip to Mexico and alleviate the costs of unexpected emergency medical situations.
What a trip protection plan covers
- Comprehensive trip protection plans with a choice of three tiers of coverage for short-term stays in Mexico that won’t exceed more than 90 consecutive days.
- Delays, interruptions or cancellation of your travel plans. Compensation if your flight gets delayed or your bags are delayed or become lost or stolen; and reimbursement of you non-refundable trip costs if you need to cancel your visit to Mexico due to unexpected situations including illness, job loss or transfer, as well as certain weather, disaster and other unforeseen events.

Is a trip protection plan right for me?
This type of plan is ideal for people who make short trips to Mexico—that don’t exceed 90 days.
If your visits to Mexico are longer than 90 days and will not exceed 180 consecutive days (six months), consider opting for Travel medical insurance instead.
If you stay in Mexico for over 180 consecutive days a Medical Evacuation Insurance plan might suit your needs in situations where a critical medical issue warrants a medical evacuation.
