What is credit card travel insurance?
Complimentary credit card travel insurance is a popular feature of some premium credit cards. It can provide the cardholder cover when they are travelling domestically and/or internationally.
Complimentary travel insurance is not necessarily ‘free’. Credit card providers will usually charge an annual card fee to cover the cost. But it could be a cost-effective alternative if you are considering taking on a standalone travel insurance policy.
However, it’s important to check what your credit card travel insurance covers and what you have to do to activate your policy before you travel. For example, in most instances, complimentary travel insurance will be provided for trips that are paid for using the credit card.
