Is USAA offering their own coverage now? I have a memory of checking with them some years ago and they contracted with Travelguard.If you are eligible, USAA offers a good insurance for the Camino.
Along with the other suggestions, make sure that if your are ill for more than seven days the insurance will pay to have a relative join you in Spain

I checked USAA for our October trip and it was actually supplied by at least one other company.Is USAA offering their own coverage now? I have a memory of checking with them some years ago and they contracted with Travelguard.
Thanks, Rick and Peg. I'll go to the USAA website and see what I can find. You've reminded me that things change, and I need to keep up with other possibilities!I checked USAA for our October trip and it was actually supplied by at least one other company.
I used Seven Corners for our trips to Spain. We got reimbursed for some medical bills incurred on our 2015 camino. I couldn't believe how easy it was (though the two bills were relatively small).
Big ticket items also include medical coverage. My wife was recently hospitalized for 10 days in Switzerland. Without travel insurance, we would have been out of pocket for $11,000+ in medical expenses plus lodging and additional car rental expenses for me. Unfortunately, things happen. Don't assume a serious illness won't happen to you overseas. Itravelinsured covered nearly all of our expenses including airline change fees. Don't skimp on travel insurance to save a few dollars!Generally, you really need to focus on the big ticket items like medical transport back to your home or repatriation of your remains in case of death. Small emergencies may be coverable out-of-pocket, but a medical flight home is bank-busting.
i always use SquareMouth to compare policies Between multiple companies based on my specific needs.
Thank you!I always use InsureMyTrip.com to compare and purchase travel insurance. Many policies will waive pre-existing conditions if the insurance is purchased within a couple of weeks of making the first payment towards the trip.
