For international travel, private insurance is essential because the U.S. government will not pay for your overseas medical care or emergency evacuation \u2014 and a medevac can exceed $100,000 (<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/international-travel\/before-you-go\/travelers-with-special-considerations\/insurance-medical-evacuation.html\">U.S. Department of State<\/a>). Comprehensive travel insurance can also reimburse nonrefundable trip costs, cover baggage issues, and provide 24\/7 assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most trips abroad, target at least $100,000 in emergency medical coverage and $250,000\u2013$500,000 (or more) for evacuation\/repatriation, and expect a comprehensive policy to cost about 5%\u201310% of your insured trip cost (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-travel-insurance\/\">Wirecutter<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squaremouth.com\/travel-advice\/how-much-does-travel-insurance-cost\">Squaremouth<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/travel-insurance\/best-travel-insurance\/\">Forbes Advisor<\/a>). If you want maximum cancellation flexibility, \u201cCancel For Any Reason\u201d (CFAR) typically refunds 50%\u201375% of prepaid, nonrefundable costs and usually must be added within a short window after your first trip payment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-travel-insurance\/\">Wirecutter<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n            <span class=\"b-anchor\" id=\"our-picks\" > <\/span>\n    \n\n            <span class=\"b-toc-anchor\" id=\"our_picks\" title=\"Our Picks\"><\/span>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 5 Best Cheap Travel Insurance Companies of 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviews.com\/insurance\/travel\/john-hancock-review\/\">John Hancock<\/a>: Best for single-trip value with solid medical\/evac limits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imglobal.com\/\">IMG<\/a>: Best for adventure travel and strong international medical\/evacuation options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"achor-toggles\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviews.com\/insurance\/travel\/allianz-review\/\">Allianz Global<\/a>:&nbsp; Best for frequent travelers (multi-trip annual plans and proactive delay benefits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AXA: Best for high medical\/evac limits and Schengen-compliant documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>World Nomads: Best for Adventure Sports and gear-focused travelers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table table-bordered table-striped table--bordered-top\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnhancocktravel.com\/our-plans#\/quote\">John Hancock<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnhancocktravel.com\/our-plans#\/quote\">IMG<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allianztravelinsurance.com\/\">Allianz Global Assistance<\/a><\/td><td>AXA<\/td><td>World Nomads<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Single-trip value<\/td><td>Adventure &amp; strong medical<\/td><td>Frequent travelers &amp; SmartBenefits<\/td><td>High medical\/evac &amp; Schengen<\/td><td>Adventure Sports<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reviews.com Score<\/td><td>4.2<\/td><td>4.75<\/td><td>3.4<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>2.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Recommended plan<\/td><td>Bronze, Silver, or Gold<\/td><td>iTravelInsured LX<\/td><td>AllTrips Prime (annual) or OneTrip Premier<\/td><td>Gold<\/td><td>Explorer Plan<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A.M.

For most international trips, experts recommend aiming for \u2265$100,000 in emergency medical coverage and \u2265$250,000\u2013$500,000 for evacuation\/repatriation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-travel-insurance\/\">Wirecutter<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/travel-insurance\/best-travel-insurance\/\">Forbes Advisor<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you identify the right coverage levels, compare quotes.

In the U.S., airlines must now automatically provide cash refunds for cancellations and \u201csignificant changes,\u201d so use insurance primarily for nonrefundable land costs, medical\/evacuation, and events outside airline obligations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportation.gov\/briefing-room\/usdot-announces-final-rule-automatic-refunds-cancellations-significant-changes-and-fee-refunds\">U.S. DOT<\/a>).
