Kindred Travel is a Service that will arrange and pay for return travel costs, accommodation and incidental expenses, in the event a close relative, living more than 150 miles from your Home, suffers a serious accident or illness, or passes away. Kindred Travel is not an insurance policy, it is a Membership Benefit
Kindred Travel will arrange and pay for flights / transportation to the country where your relative is, being a minimum of 150 miles from your home (so long as legally allowed to do so), and provide accommodation and meals for up to $150 per day. We will cover costs up to US$25,000 in all, but do not cover the costs of Visas or Consular Services.
Go to the 'our packages' section of this site and select the Membership level that you require.
There are no age restrictions on Members. (We highly recommend that you have adequate Travel Insurance.) A 'close relative' / 'additional person' must be under 75 years of age.
The only coverage excluded is illness, that occurs within the first three months, after the membership starts. See the terms and conditions for the full definition.
No need to wait those agonising few hours before calling us, our call center is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year so you can contact us at any time and we'll start making arrangements immediately.
We will arrange flights as soon as reasonably possible. This could be the same day or an agreed time, within 30 days of the claim being made.
In the event of a claim you must contact Kindred Travel Claims as soon as possible. Please call 1-866-930-9805 toll free in U.S and Canada or call collect:1-603-328-1964 from all other locations.
On Call International is available 24 hours a day. Please give the name of the close relative, your contact number, the name and phone number of the hospital, your Kindred Travel Membership number and the nature of the emergency.
No matter where you live or your nationality, you can become a member and cover your 'close relatives' living more than 150 miles away.
Annual Fees start at $174 for a single membership, $210 for a couple's membership, and $294 for a Family membership. An instant quotation is available on this web site.
