Every Allianz annual plan side by side — plus the Travel Insured Annual Multi-Trip Protector — with real pricing and plain explanations.

Read this first. Annual travel insurance is not the same as a single-trip plan. Annual plans give you continuous year-round protection — especially for medical emergencies, evacuation, delays, and baggage. Trip cancellation is capped per trip and may not fully cover an expensive cruise or luxury vacation. For high-cost one-time trips, a dedicated single-trip plan is usually the stronger choice.
Allianz Travel Insurance
All Allianz Annual Plans

Allianz offers three families — Premier, Executive, and Deluxe — each with different cancellation caps. All include medical, evacuation, delays, baggage, rental car, and concierge. The key difference is the per-trip cancellation limit, set at purchase.

Allianz Premier Series — Strongest evacuation ($500K) and baggage delay ($2,000). Best for frequent international travelers and cruisers.

Travel Insured International
Annual Multi-Trip Protector

Travel Insured's annual plan focuses on emergency protection at a low base price. Trip cancellation is an optional add-on — ideal for travelers who want year-round medical, evacuation, and baggage coverage without paying for cancellation on every trip.

How to choose between these plans

If you take multiple international trips or cruises per year and want one annual policy with cancellation included, the Allianz Premier $10K at $1,050 is the strongest all-around choice — $10,000 cancellation per trip, $500,000 evacuation, and strong baggage protection.

If you are a business traveler who uses airline miles and loyalty programs, the Executive series adds change fee and loyalty redeposit coverage that Premier does not have. Note the lower evacuation limit ($250K) vs Premier.

If you want the lowest-cost annual emergency protection and plan to buy single-trip plans for major vacations, the Travel Insured Annual at ~$94 covers medical, evacuation, baggage, and delays all year for less than any Allianz annual plan.

The Allianz Deluxe at $280 should only be considered for domestic short-haul travelers. Its $20,000 medical cap is not adequate for international travel or cruises.

Important to Know
How Annual Plans Actually Work
  • One policy covers all your trips throughout the year — no need to buy a new plan before each trip.
  • Allianz covers trips up to 90 days. Travel Insured covers trips up to 45 days. Longer trips may not be fully covered.
  • Allianz cancellation caps are set at purchase and apply per trip. If your cruise costs $12,000 and you chose Premier $10K, only $10,000 is covered.
  • Travel Insured's base plan does not include trip cancellation — it must be added as an optional upgrade tied to each trip's cost.
  • Medical and evacuation is where annual plans shine — your US health insurance will not cover you abroad.
  • For any single high-cost trip — a luxury cruise, honeymoon, or group tour — a single-trip plan usually offers stronger, more tailored protection.
Finding Your Fit
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Choose Travel Insured Annual if...

You want strong emergency protection at the lowest annual cost

At ~$94 base, you get medical, evacuation, baggage, and delays for every trip all year. Add trip cancellation only for large prepaid vacations.

Choose Allianz Executive if...

You are a business traveler who uses miles and loyalty programs

Executive plans add change fee and loyalty redeposit protection. Note the lower evacuation limit ($250K) compared to Premier if you travel internationally.

Consider single-trip if...

You have one large or expensive trip this year

Annual cancellation caps may not fully cover a $15,000 cruise. A single-trip plan provides full trip cost protection with benefits tailored to that specific trip.
