Travel Protection
We do offer travel protection. You will find travel protection options on your customized quote, with pricing calculated according to the cost of your tailored itinerary. Our travel protection packages are highly comprehensive and designed with the needs of a private guided traveler in mind. For more information, check out our FAQs below.
Travel protection may provide travelers coverage for unforeseen circumstances, from a cancelled flight to a serious illness—or in rare cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial insolvency of a travel supplier. If an illness, accident, or other covered unforeseen circumstance forces a traveler to cancel or interrupt their plans, they face two major financial losses—money invested in prepaid, nonrefundable and unused payments or deposits, and medical expenses that in many instances may not be covered by health insurance.
Often a traveler will lose nonrefundable deposits and prepayments that can add up to hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars. A travel protection plan can help provide trip cancellation coverage for the traveler's vacation investment— reimbursing the traveler for prepaid, nonrefundable and unused payments or deposits that were insured for a covered reason.
The travel protection plan may reimburse for prepaid, nonrefundable, unused payments or deposits if the traveler must cancel or interrupt their trip due to a covered reason. Trip Interruption can also reimburse for the additional transportation expenses incurred to reach the next scheduled destination to catch up to the trip or to return home.
In addition to trip cancellation and interruption, today’s travel protection may also help cover emergency medical expenses and emergency medical transportation, to the nearest adequate medical facility when ordered by a doctor. Reimbursement for additional accommodations, meals and local transportation expenses incurred due to travel delays. Reimbursement for the purchase of essential items if baggage is delayed; and coverage against lost, stolen or damaged baggage.
Many travel protection plans do not cover terrorism, or only cover terrorist acts that occur on foreign soil. Travel insurance through Travelex Insurance can cover terrorist incidents both in the United States and abroad.
The cost of travel protection is based, in most cases, on the value of the trip, the length of the trip and the plan purchased.
