Travel emergency assistance services

When you are traveling or working anywhere in the world, your covered Visa card gets you access to a multilingual call center—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—to help get the assistance you need. Covered Visa cardholders, their spouses and dependent children under 22 years of age or under who are traveling with them can call a dedicated toll-free number in the United States, or call collect when traveling abroad. Keep in mind that this program provides assistance only. Cardholders are responsible for the cost of any services received.
