At Travelex, we're a team of allies — and some of us are also members of the LGBTQ+ community! Fostering equality, inclusion, and diversity isn't just a one-time effort — it's something we prioritize every single day. We're dedicated to embracing people of all ages, genders, races, and sexual identities because we believe diversity makes us stronger — and travel experiences better!
Why do we celebrate pride all year long? We believe that:
No matter how you identify yourself, we're proud to welcome you into our Travelex family.
Certain benefits may be extra important for queer adventurers to have in their LGBTQ+ travel insurance policy.
Whether it's a sudden illness or an unexpected accident, our LGBTQ+ travel insurance offers emergency medical and evacuation coverage. It can help you get the care you need without added stress.

Our Ultimate plan can cover one child per each insured adult at no additional cost. So, if you're traveling with your spouse, you can include up to two children on your policy. Our LGBTQ+ family travel insurance makes it easier — and less pricey — for you to protect your kids.

Plans can change in the blink of an eye. With trip cancellation coverage, you can cancel your trip for an eligible reason (like illness or injury) and get up to 100% of your insured trip cost back. You can get this benefit on our Ultimate, Advantage, or Essential plan.
Want to be able to cancel your trip no matter what happens? Maybe you don't want to miss the local Pride parade or want to change your trip to a more LGBTQ+-friendly destination. Our cancel for any reason* upgrade can help you get back some of your insured trip cost.
You never know if your luggage will decide to go on its own adventure. Our baggage benefits keep you from feeling stranded without your important items. It can reimburse you for the cost of your eligible replacement belongings to help you get back on track without worrying about your wallet.

Have an eligible medical emergency? We can reimburse your medical expenses and, if a doctor says it's necessary, emergency medical evacuation to a facility that's better equipped to treat you.
Need to cut your trip short for an eligible reason like your illness or injury? Our trip interruption benefit can help reimburse unused prepaid and nonrefundable costs.

While we can't change local laws or attitudes, we can help ensure you have coverage and an emergency team to support you when you have to make fast decisions under pressure.
Our emergency medical coverage can only help with non-elective, urgent, and medically necessary treatment. So, we can't offer coverage for gender-affirming care.

Remember, if you have planned or chosen medical treatments that aren't urgent or life-threatening, we can't cover them. Get more details on our emergency medical coverage page.
Our pregnancy coverage doesn't change if you're queer! So, we can help you if you have a pregnancy complication that's separate from and worsened by your pregnancy (like acute nephritis or cardiac decompensation).

Many queer couples choose to do IVF, IUI, or another fertility option outside of the U.S. where treatment may be less expensive. At Travelex, we don't cover any planned medical care like fertility treatments — only unexpected emergencies.
You can get access to safety alerts and LGBTQ+-specific guidance in our Travel On app. These features are available to anyone with a Travelex policy.
Just search your trip destination in our app to find LGBTQ+ travel information for that location.
Name and gender marker mismatches between your passport, tickets, and insurance documents can be complicated, but with a little prep, they're usually manageable.
Ideally, your legal travel documents, airline ticket, and insurance policy all show the same legal name and gender marker — even if they don't fully reflect your identity yet. Keeping things consistent can help avoid questions at borders, hospitals, or when filing a Travelex claim.
If you're in the process of changing your name or gender marker, reach out to us before buying your policy. We want to address you respectfully while keeping everything aligned with your IDs. Plus, we can tell you how we handle information updates and offer recommendations.
It's also a good idea to carry copies of any legal change documents and a simple letter from your doctor or attorney, especially if you're traveling to places less familiar with trans or non-binary identities.
If you have questions about Travelex claims, you can call 1-800-501-4781 for support.
