We strongly recommend that you consider travel insurance, which may cover trip cancellation costs, medical emergencies, emergency evacuation, personal belongings, emergency assistance, and travel delays. This coverage, available at a nominal fee, can also cover conditions such as airline accidents, lost baggage, late flights, inclement weather, and other unforeseen events.
You are protected against losses due to:
- Trip cancellations
- Trip delay
- Trip interruption
- Emergency medical expense
- Emergency medical evacuation (up to $50,000 of coverage)
- Many other circumstances outside your control
A comprehensive travel protection plan covers a variety of unforeseeable events. For example, if weather delays your flight and you miss the first day of your vacation, you can file a claim for reimbursement of that day’s charges. If a relative at home is hospitalized and you need to cut your trip short, you can be reimbursed for the unused days — and if illness or injury causes a cancellation of the entire trip, you can recover the monies you would have otherwise forfeited to cancellation penalties.
Weather-related delays, interruptions, or cancellations are covered in most cases as well.
We recommend purchasing a policy shortly after booking your stay, and reviewing the specific plan details for the coverage that best fits your trip.
