Coverage for Trips That Don’t Always Go as Planned

Travel brings opportunity — but it also comes with risks that standard health or homeowners insurance often doesn’t cover. Medical emergencies abroad, trip cancellations, lost baggage, or unexpected delays can quickly turn a planned trip into a costly situation without proper coverage in place.



At Valley Center Insurance Agency LLC, we help individuals and families across San Diego County secure travel insurance designed to protect them before, during, and after travel. With offices in Valley Center and Escondido, our advisors work directly with clients to recommend travel coverage based on destination, trip cost, and personal risk exposure — not generic packages.

What Travel Insurance Can Cover

Travel insurance policies can be structured to address a range of risks depending on where and how you travel.

Trip Cancellation & Interruption

Provides reimbursement for prepaid, non-refundable trip costs if travel is canceled or interrupted due to covered reasons such as illness, injury, or unexpected emergencies.

Emergency Medical Coverage

Helps cover medical treatment and hospital expenses incurred while traveling, especially important for international trips where health insurance may not apply.

Emergency Medical Evacuation

Covers transportation to an appropriate medical facility or return home in the event of a serious illness or injury while traveling.

Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Baggage

Provides reimbursement for personal belongings lost, stolen, or delayed during travel.

Travel Delay Coverage

Helps offset additional expenses caused by covered travel delays such as lodging, meals, or transportation.

Factors That Affect Travel Insurance Coverage

Not all trips carry the same level of risk. Travel insurance should reflect your itinerary, destination, and financial exposure.
