When selecting your travel dates for insurance purposes, you’ll want to enter the full span of your trip—from the day you leave home to the day you return. Your departure date is the day you begin traveling, even if it’s just a short drive to the airport or train station. Your return date is the day you arrive back home.
These dates help determine the duration of your coverage and are used to calculate your premium. It’s important to be accurate, even if your trip includes overnight flights or time zone changes. If your plans shift later, many policies allow you to update your dates—just be sure to check with your provider.
Choosing the correct travel dates ensures that you’re protected for the entire journey, from start to finish.
