How does Chase Freedom Unlimited travel insurance work?

Chase Freedom Unlimited travel insurance covers you for up to $1,500 per person and $6,000 per trip that was cut short or canceled because of illness, severe weather, military transfers, or other covered situations. The card’s travel benefits also include rental car insurance and travel emergency services. To be eligible to file a travel insurance claim, you’ll need to pay for your travel using your Chase Freedom Unlimited.

Types of Chase Freedom Unlimited Travel Insurance

• Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption:
  Reimburses cardholders for up to $1,500 per person and $6,000 per trip charged to the Chase Freedom Unlimited card. Applies to trips cut short or cancelled because of illness, severe weather, military transfers or other covered situations.
