In this guide, we provide an overview of what is provided by different card issuers and the different types of coverages. We picked a variety of cards that cater to all different consumer spending profiles, whether you’re a frequent traveler or just take a vacation once per year. Not only did we handpick some of the best travel rewards cards, but we selected several everyday cards with no annual fee that also offer travel insurance benefits. However, note that these are not the only credit cards on the market that are offering travel insurance.
