Insurance Plans - Why Buy Travel Protection?
Program Protection includes a package of travel insurance benefits designed to protect you in three ways: 1) to reimburse you for your financial investment (i.e. the cost of your program arrangements) should a variety of unforeseen reasons force you to cancel or interrupt your program; 2) most importantly, to protect you against the costs incurred during your program for medical expenses, a medical evacuation, services to assist you in an emergency situation; and 3) to protect against loss, damage or destruction of your personal belongings.
Some things are beyond our control. Program Protection provides insurance coverage for: Program Cancellation or Interruption; Medical Emergencies; Baggage/Personal Effects (loss, damaged or destroyed) Baggage Delay, or Program Delay and much more.
Our plans also include Non-Insurance 24-Hour Assistance Services to help you in emergency situations and we also include a service to register your important medical information which then can be accessed should the need arise during your program.
Remember, many of your program arrangements may be either non-refundable or subject to strict cancellation penalties. The lowest cost airfares, cruise and land packages generally include significant penalties if you are unable to actually take your trip.
