• Travel Insurance

Protect your vacation investment with a travel protection plan from USI 

Plan for the unexpected. Protect your travel investment against trip cancellation, travel delay, baggage loss, and more. Plus, make sure you’re covered while you’re away from home for emergency medical care and emergency medical evacuation, if needed. Traveling Wildcats has partnered with USI Travel Insurance Services to offer a plan designed with our travelers in mind.   Click here  to learn more, get a quote, and enroll.

Did you know you can buy USI travel insurance plans for your personal trips too? Go with a plan that’s been vetted and is trusted by the K-State Alumni Association. We not only take care of alumni traveling on our sponsored trips, but any alumni, friends, and family—wherever your travels take you!

No trip is too small for travel insurance. Coverage is provided for both domestic trips and international, for trips taken by car or those taken by air. And because the plan cost is partially determined by your trip cost, a smaller trip means a more affordable travel insurance plan.

Seeking the utmost security and flexibility when you travel? Choose the Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) plan upgrade option. This option – not offered on all travel insurance plans – allows you to cancel your trip for literally any reason at all and still be eligible for reimbursement. Act fast, though – you’re required to purchase your insurance plan within a few weeks of your trip deposit to be eligible for this upgrade.   Other conditions apply – read plan for details.

To purchase insurance call 1-800-937-1387 or get your free online quote for Trip Care Complete.
