Can I purchase travel insurance after I have already started my trip?

Asked 7 months ago
Yes, you can purchase travel insurance after you have already started your trip, but the coverage and options available may be limited. Most travel insurance policies require you to purchase coverage before your trip begins to ensure you are protected from unforeseen events. However, some insurance providers offer policies that cater to last-minute travelers. These policies may have certain restrictions or exclusions, such as limited cancellation benefits or pre-existing condition coverage. It is important to carefully review the policy terms and conditions and consult with the insurance provider to understand what coverage options they offer for post-departure purchases. Acting promptly and providing accurate information about your trip is crucial when purchasing travel insurance after starting your trip.
