fstuff1 Posted November 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2019 i have geoblue trekker. ($100/year for medical and evac only) it expires in the middle of my cruise next year. i plan to renew but what should be the start date of the new policy? i'm thinking I should make the start date the beginning of the cruise. that way i only have 1 policy to deal with in off chance i need to use the policy and not deal with the hassle/confusion that may occur with 2 policies? (so basically, not use the previous policy for this cruise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company knows when the old policy ends, and they start the next policy the next day (each at "mid-night between the two days"), and that takes care of it. There is no interruption.

Budget Queen Posted November 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I never renew my annual medical. Every year I have found changes in coverage. I start over and make my choice on what coverage I need. I have been been able to purchase an extension to expiring policies. Perhaps that is an option.

Annual travel insurance plans are not renewable. Each one you buy starts a new plan year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
