Travel Insurance: To Buy or Not to Buy?

The benefits of travel far outweigh the risks, but this doesn’t mean the risks aren’t there. Protect yourself with travel insurance to potentially receive:

  • Reimbursement for canceled trips.
  • Medical care in case of emergency.
  • Replaced lost items.

But most of all: peace of mind.

Important Information

Each airline has specific baggage requirements and fees, so we suggest asking your Travel Consultant directly or viewing our comprehensive list of airline baggage policies and requirements.

The generally recommended time of pre-arrival is two hours for domestic travel and three hours prior to departure when flying internationally.

A passport is the best form of identification when traveling and a requirement for international travel. Domestic travel within the United States requires a state-issued driver's license or identification.

Please Note: On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. If you aren’t sure if your ID complies with REAL ID, check with your state department of motor vehicles or click here to see if you’re REAL ID ready.

Visas for international travel are required for U.S. citizens by some countries for entry and will be advised at the time of booking. If you are not a U.S. citizen, we advise you to speak with the consulate where you are a passport holder.

 

Although no one likes to spend more money, the truth is that anything can happen when traveling. Trip delays, interruptions, or even cancellations can cause unexpected headaches and expenses, but travel insurance can help make sure you are protected for adjustments you need to overcome these situations. If you have a covered reason, you can be reimbursed for pre-paid non-refundable expenses, like a medical emergency or loss of employment before your trip even begins. Liberty Travel has partnered with Allianz Global Assistance to provide travel insurance. Click here to learn more.

When checking into your resort or hotel you will need your valid driver's license or passport, along with a major credit card for incidentals.

When booking with Liberty Travel, there are multiple ways to gain a copy of your documents. You can email your Travel Consultant or get them directly through our Liberty Travel Go app, which allows you to access your trip itineraries directly from your smartphone.
