Most visitors insurance plans are extendable if you decide that you need to extend your policy for a longer coverage period. Extending a travel insurance policy is simple and can often be completed in a few easy steps online. In some cases, a small extension fee may apply.

If you purchased the policy through VisitorsCoverage, our Customer Success Team of licensed travel insurance experts will be happy to help you extend or renew your policy.
Generally once a policy has expired, you cannot renew it and will need to purchase a new plan. We recommend renewing a policy at least two days before it expires to ensure you are fully covered.
You can find renewal specifications in your policy brochure. There should also be a link to the policy details in the confirmation email you received. However, not all policies are renewable.
To renew your policy, sign in to your Account. You will need the policy number and the insured's date of birth.
Most plans are extendable up to the day before the policy expires. Typically, there is a $5 extension fee. For a more detailed explanation on policy extensions, visit: Visitors Insurance Policy Extension/Renewal
The policy maximum and deductible cannot be changed when renewing a policy. If you need to change these details, you can purchase a new policy instead of renewing. It would be considered totally unrelated to the previous plan, so a new deductible and new terms of the policy would apply.
The deductible varies by plan. Some policies provide a deductible "per policy period," so if you extend the plan, it is a continuation of the same policy, so the deductible would only apply one time. If the deductible is already reached before the extension, then you are no longer responsible for the deductible. You will need to extend the plan at least one day before it expires. However, if you decide to buy the policy again instead of extending, then the deductible would apply. You cannot extend a policy if it is already expired. Please feel free to call us at 1-866-384-9104 or email us at support@visitorscoverage.com, if you have any further questions or need assistance buying a plan.
Different plans have different renewal criteria and requirements depending on the renewal policy of each insurance company. Most plans are renewable up to the day before the policy expires. Other plans may require that your initial purchase is for more than 1 month of coverage to be eligible for renewal. For more information on renewals, please refer to our policy extension and renewal FAQs.
