• UC Personal Travel Insurance Plan Options (pdf)*

  Whether traveling for business, pleasure, or educational purposes, many travelers could benefit from the peace of mind that comes with purchasing travel insurance to help provide the security they need. This travel accident protection program responds to medical emergencies for travelers outside of their home country or country of permanent residence by providing accident and sickness benefits and valuable travel assistance services. See the UC Personal Travel Plan Options (pdf)*.

• UC Personal Travel Insurance Enrollment

  Coverage is only effective while traveling outside of the country from which you hold a passport. Sometimes travel outside of your home country can involve increased risks, especially if you need to travel to areas of political unrest and conflict. ACE USA Accident and Health offers an integrated travel insurance and service plan that helps to provide the extra protection needed while traveling in high-risk territories.

*The UC Personal Travel Insurance Program is being offered as an option for employees, students, retirees, alumni and their traveling companions to purchase for their own for personal travel. This program is not affiliated with any University-provided employee benefit and the University makes no recommendation concerning it. As with any commercial travel insurance you purchase, the traveler is responsible for paying the premium, arranging for any travel assistance services, and resolving any claim or coverage issues directly with the insurance carrier.

Please note that the UC Personal Travel Insurance policy renews each year on September 1. If the contract for the next renewal has not yet been signed by UC and the insurer, the enrollment portal will not allow you to enroll for coverage for travel after August 31st. You will need to wait to enroll until the enrollment portal has been authorized to enroll travelers past the renewal date. If you receive an error message during enrollment indicating you cannot enroll past August 31 and you would like to be notified once the renewal contract has been signed, you can write to UCtravelinsurance@ucop.edu to request this.
