Why Buy Travel Protection?<\/h1>\n

Not sure if you need travel protection? Learn why it’s a good idea.<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Emergencies can happen when you least expect them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n Our travel protection plans include coverage for Trip Cancellations, Trip Interruptions, Accident & Sickness Medical Expense, Baggage and Personal Effects, Baggage Delays, Travel Delays and much more. Plus, we offer 24-hour Non-Insurance Traveler Assistance Service to help you with emergency situations that arise during your trip.<\/p>\n

Many travel arrangements are non-refundable, and the best airline and cruise deals may only provide few options if you must cancel your trip. Your personal medical insurance may provide little or no coverage when traveling abroad. And, how many times has your flight been cancelled or delayed?<\/p>\n<\/div>

Trip Cancellation or Interruption<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
Do you want to protect your prepaid trip costs if you must cancel or interrupt your trip? Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption protects the financial investment you\u2019ve made in your travel arrangements against a variety of unforeseeable reasons, both medical and non-medical, that may affect you or your travel plans.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Baggage and Personal Effects<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
You\u2019ve heard it before, leave your valuables at home! But sometimes a formal suit or other personal items taken on the trip are lost or stolen.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Accident & Sickness Medical Expense<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
Does your health insurance cover you away from home? Health insurance plans may offer little or no coverage for medical expenses you incur while traveling outside the United States. Our plans reimburse you for covered on-trip medical expenses.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n
<\/i><\/div>

Travel Delay<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
Our plan includes provisions to cover additional expenses incurred for meals and accommodations when you are delayed 12 hours or more due to any delay of a common carrier, or for other covered reasons.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n \n
<\/i><\/div>

Waiver of Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
All of our plans can provide coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. The waiver provision only applies if you purchase your travel protection plan within 15 days of the date you made your first payment for your travel arrangements and you are not already disabled from travel at the time you purchase your plan.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n \n \n \n
