Travel is a chance to step out of routine and into something new. Whether you’re traveling for work, visiting family, or taking a trip, planning ahead can help you feel more at ease once you’re on your way.
Your pre-trip checklist
Before you head out, take a look at your packing list with your health in mind. Refill prescriptions if needed, check if vaccines are needed for international travel, and review your coverage details so you know what to expect if you need care.
What to bring
Make sure to pack health essentials so you’re ready for whatever comes your way.
Important basics to add to your list:
- Prescription medications, plus extra if possible
- Over-the-counter medicine for things like headaches or an upset stomach
- Sunscreen and insect repellent if you’ll spend time outside
- A refillable water bottle and hand sanitizer for travel days
Getting care while traveling
Knowing what your plan covers can help you have peace of mind wherever you go. Most Quartz plans include coverage for urgent and emergency care while you’re traveling.

Make time to recharge
Taking care of your mental health helps you feel your best. Travel can be exciting, but it can also feel busy or overwhelming at times.
Giving yourself space to slow down helps you recharge and enjoy the moment. Even small breaks can help shift how your whole day feels.
