Want to know more about our
travel insurance for pregnancy?
We're here to help you understand how travel insurance works for pregnant adventurers.
You don't need to choose a certain plan when you're pregnant — any form of coverage could work for your trip depending on your needs. But because you're an expecting mom, we do recommend that you choose a plan with robust coverage for medical emergencies and trip cancellations.
Why? Pregnancy can come with unique risks, so it's smart to pick a policy that has the right support for your vacation as a mom-to-be. Look for plans with:
The best travel insurance for your babymoon depends on you and your vacation plans. As an expecting adventurer, it's important to have comprehensive coverage for:
At Travelex, our best travel insurance for pregnant women is our Ultimate plan. Here's why:
*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for residents of NY.
No, you don't need to tell your travel insurance provider that you're pregnant. That said, it's still a good idea to review your policy's terms and conditions to understand what's covered.
While you don't need to notify our Travelex team, you should read through your policy's description of coverage, so you know about any exclusions related to pregnancy, such as routine care or planned childbirth.
No, pregnancy doesn't make your travel insurance more expensive.
Your policy cost is based on factors like your:
… not your pregnancy status.
No, we don't cover routine prenatal care — including check-ups, ultrasounds, and tests. Our plans can support you with unexpected events, so regular medical care doesn't qualify for coverage.
Here are our top tips to help avoid gaps in pregnancy medical care or extra routine prenatal care costs on vacation:
Have an emergency or pregnancy complication while traveling? Your policy may provide coverage for unexpected medical concerns not directly related to pregnancy, so check the details before you go.
No, we don't consider pregnancy to be a pre-existing condition. With Travelex plans, a pre-existing condition is a chronic illness or disease you've been treated for within 90 days of purchasing your Travelex policy.
Have a pre-existing condition like asthma or diabetes? Our Ultimate plan offers a waiver of our pre-existing condition exclusion*. You can get medical coverage for your chronic illness if you:
We do offer coverage for certain pregnancy complications, but they must be separate from and worsened or caused by pregnancy.
Our plans can help with unexpected medical costs if you have a condition like:
Here are examples of conditions and situations we don't cover (because they're directly associated with pregnancy):
We don't cover routine labor and delivery, so keep that in mind if you travel later in pregnancy. Plus, if you travel outside of the country, your U.S. health insurance likely can't help with medical costs.
Tip: Check with your prenatal care doctor before booking your trip to ensure it's safe for you to travel in pregnancy.
No, you can't add a newborn to your Travelex policy after your trip starts. If you want coverage for a household member, they must be born and included in your policy when you buy your plan.
Bringing your newborn on vacation? You can include them under your policy for less with our Ultimate plan. It offers kids-included pricing for one child aged 17 and younger per each insured adult, as long as you meet all coverage requirements.
Whether our medical benefits apply to your high-risk pregnancy depends on the specific reason for your high-risk status.
Our coverage applies if you're high-risk because of a complication that's distinct from but affected by pregnancy, such as:
If you're considered high risk because you're carrying multiples or have a pregnancy-related condition like preeclampsia, our medical coverage won't apply.
Remember: Speak with your prenatal care doctor to understand if it's a good idea to travel while you're pregnant — whether you have a high-risk pregnancy or not.
If you choose not to travel for an ineligible reason, you can only have our coverage if you get our Ultimate plan's cancel for any reason* upgrade. It lets you call off your trip for any reason not included in the base plan and get back up to 75% of your insured trip cost (up to $7,500). It can be a helpful addition to your policy if you're pregnant and unsure about traveling!
To get coverage under our cancel for any reason upgrade, you need to:
*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for residents of NY.
Under our standard trip cancellation benefit, you can't cancel and get money back if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. If you get our Ultimate, Advantage, or Essential plan, you can have trip cancellation coverage under the base plan only if something unexpected happens that:
Here are some examples of events our trip cancellation benefit can help with:
For maximum flexibility as a pregnant traveler, our cancel for any reason upgrade is worth considering. Otherwise, check out our trip cancellation benefit. For the full list of eligible cancellation reasons, check the description of coverage for our Ultimate, Advantage, or Essential plan.
Yes, you can have trip cancellation coverage if you first discover you're unexpectedly pregnant after getting a Travelex policy. We know that could shake up your travel plans, so we can help if you have our Ultimate plan and meet a few requirements.
To get coverage, you need to have:
The best time to get travel insurance during pregnancy is as soon as you book any part of your vacation!
At Travelex, we have early purchase benefits based on the plan you choose. With our Ultimate, Advantage, or Essential plan, you're eligible for the trip cancellation benefit the day after you purchase your policy. The sooner you buy, the longer you have cancellation coverage for unforeseen reasons like illness or injury.
Our Ultimate plan also has these early purchase benefits:
* Cancel for any fortuitous reason for residents of NY.
