OPTION 1 - Independent Policies
OVSC does not provide travel insurance. You can purchase independent travel insurance at the provider of your choosing. These website are useful for locating various available plans: insuremytrip.com and squaremouth.com

OPTION 2 - Credit Card Policies
There are a limited number of credit cards that offer travel insurance if you charge any part of your trip on their card. Our tour operators may charge a surcharge for using a credit card but the fee may be significantly less than the cost of insurance.

OPTION 3 - Annual Policies
You may also want to consider an annual insurance policy if you take more than one trip per year. Several members currently carry the Allianz annual policy. There are other companies that also offer a similar package. For more information on annual policies this article may be useful: Best Annual Travel Insurance Companies
USAA also provides good annual insurance for medical and evacuation along with other benefits but for comprehensive trip insurance, each trip is considered an add-on. If you are only looking for medical coverage, GeoBlue, a division of Blue Cross, has excellent coverage. |

OPTION 4 - Travel Agency Referral Policy
We use several different travel agencies for trips. Each may have policies available through their companies. For these policies refer to brochures provided, event listing, or check with your trip leader.
