Can I use my Non-Medical Evacuation coverage if there is unrest due to terrorism?
Short Answer
Non-Medical Evacuation coverage may provide coverage if there is civil or political unrest within the country you are traveling.
More Detail
Travel insurance policies may be purchased with the Non-Medical Evacuation benefit, which can cover the transportation from a place of danger to a place of safety during a time of political or civil unrest, depending on the policy. To be eligible for Non-Medical Evacuation, the appropriate authority must order the evacuation. Additionally, some policies require the US issues a travel warning in order to be covered.
Travelers who have purchased a policy with Non-Medical Evacuation coverage are encouraged to contact the 24 Hour Emergency Assistance line to arrange a Non-Medical Evacuation.
