✈️ Travel Insurance
Protect Your Health, Gear & Investment

Travel insurance is a smart part of every trip — whether you’re exploring a city, trekking through a jungle, or photographing landscapes abroad.

Here are trusted options Dr. Veille recommends for different needs:

🔹 Medical Travel Insurance

For unexpected illness or injury abroad.

  1. GeoBlue Travel Insurance: Global coverage backed by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Great for U.S. travelers abroad.

  2. AAA Travel Insurance: Travel insurance plans and trip cancellation options for members.

  3. AARP / AARDY Travel Insurance: Senior-friendly options with side-by-side comparisons.

🔹 Trip Cancellation & Interruption

Covers prepaid costs like flights and hotels if plans change.

  1. Allianz Travel Insurance: Well-known provider for trip protection and travel delays.

  2. TravelInsurance.com: Compare multiple providers for your exact itinerary.

🔹 Camera Gear & Equipment Protection

For photographers, creators, and professionals on the move.

  1. BriteCo: Protect your valuable camera equipment against damage, theft, and loss.

  2. Full Frame Insurance: Annual and event-specific coverage for photographers and videographers.

💡 Tip from Dr. Veille: Many insurance providers offer discounts for members or repeat travelers. Check if your affiliation (AAA, AARP, etc.) qualifies.
