Why buy travel insurance before you leave?

Travel insurance is designed to provide assistance for certain unexpected events while you travel. Depending on the plan and its terms, this may include medical emergencies abroad, trip cancellation or interruption, baggage issues, flight delays, and traveler assistance.

Buying before departure gives you time to compare the options, check the dates, and understand how to request help. It also means you can review the policy before you are already managing a travel disruption.

The Dominican Republic welcomed 11,676,901 visitors in 2025, including air travelers and cruise passengers, according to the Ministry of Tourism. In the first eight months of 2026, the country received 8,556,415 visitors, according to the Presidency of the Dominican Republic. Whether you are leaving the country or arriving from abroad, it is worth checking what support your trip may need.

Consider two hypothetical examples. You might need medical assistance after becoming ill while away from home. Or a baggage delay might leave you without important belongings for part of your journey. Whether a policy helps with either situation depends on the plan’s coverage and conditions.

Travel insurance is not a promise that every disruption will be paid for. It is a way to review available support in advance, with the policy details clearly in view.

What should you compare before buying?

Before choosing, check the details that shape how a plan applies to your trip. A few minutes reviewing these points can help you avoid assumptions.

Destination and travel category

Start with your itinerary. The online options include categories such as Worldwide, Europe, Local, South and Central America, North America and rest of the world, Latin America, and Dominican Republic. Select the category that matches your destination and review the policy for your specific route.

Dates and travelers

Enter your departure and return dates, or the number of coverage days for an annual option. Add each traveler and their age. Check that the dates and traveler details match the trip you intend to insure.

Benefits, limits, and exclusions

Review which protections apply to the selected plan. These may relate to medical emergencies abroad, trip cancellation or interruption, lost, delayed, or damaged baggage, flight delays and connections, travel assistance, and COVID-related coverage where applicable.

A limit is the maximum amount a policy may pay for a covered benefit. An exclusion is a situation or expense the policy does not cover. The exact limits, exclusions, and claim conditions depend on the selected plan and policy. Read the policy wording rather than relying only on a list of benefits.

If you are arranging longer-term health protection while living across borders, travel insurance may not be the right substitute. You can also review international health insurance and Grupo RiskPro’s other insurance services.

Who can use travel insurance?

Travel insurance may be relevant if you are:

  • Traveling out of the Dominican Republic for leisure, work, or a visit with family.
  • An expat moving between countries and looking for support during a specific trip.
  • A frequent traveler who wants to review coverage for each journey.
  • A company arranging travel for employees abroad and comparing options for its team.

The policy available through the online process can include up to nine passengers. For company needs that involve ongoing health protection across countries, explore international health insurance or contact Grupo RiskPro to discuss the distinction between trip coverage and longer-term health coverage.

Questions travelers often ask

How much does travel insurance cost?

The price depends on factors such as destination, trip duration, and travelers’ ages. The online quote shows the price for the information you enter, so you can review it before purchasing. There are no fixed prices stated here because the amount varies with the trip and selected option.

Can I buy travel insurance one day before traveling?

The online process lets you enter your trip details and view available options, but a universal minimum purchase period is not stated. If you are close to departure, check the quote and policy conditions or ask an advisor whether the selected option is available for your dates. Do not assume that a policy covers an event that occurs before its effective date.

Does travel insurance cover medical expenses related to COVID?

COVID-related coverage may apply where it is included in the selected plan. Check the policy wording for the applicable conditions, limits, and exclusions before buying.

Does it cover cruises or connecting trips?

Coverage depends on the selected plan and policy terms. Review the destination category and itinerary details, including cruise stops and connections, before purchasing. If you are unsure whether your route is included, ask an advisor to help you check.
