Travel is expensive, especially tours and cruises. Once you’ve
paid your deposit or full payment, what will happen if:
-
you or someone in your immediate family unexpectedly becomes
ill, injured or dies and you can no longer take or continue your
trip?
-
your tour operator, airline or cruise line stops operating?
A cancellation or interruption of your trip
can cause you to lose some or all of your prepaid trip expenses.
In the event of a covered hurricane or other
unforeseen severe weather, travel insurance may cover any expenses or delays
under the Trip Cancellation and Interruption coverage. If your trip is
cancelled, you may receive a refund for the full trip up to the limit of
coverage. In case of an interruption such as an illness, you may be
reimbursed for the remainder of the trip.
In addition to
trip cancellation and interruption, the more comprehensive travel insurance
plans available today may also cover emergency medical expenses; emergency
medical transportation, when ordered by a doctor, to the nearest adequate
medical facility; reimbursement for accommodations and 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
You're involved in an accident while on a summer
trip to Europe with your family and adequate medical treatment is not
available. Who will help arrange and pay for a medical evacuation? If you
have travel insurance, this isn't a problem.
Many travel
insurance policies do not cover terrorism, or only cover terrorist acts that
occur on foreign soil. Travel insurance through
Travel Guard can cover terrorist
incidents both in the United States and abroad.
