When traveling internationally, we encourage travelers to consider travel protection. In addition, if you have pre-existing health conditions please notify your provider so they can include any additional protection as necessary. It is critical to review your plan details and coverage benefits to verify your destinations, activities, and possible reasons for cancellation are covered in your plan. Since COVID-19, we are now even more strongly advising our travelers to look into what’s out there and purchase a policy that fits their needs.
TTLT recommends that every traveler procures their own medical insurance, travel protection, and trip cancellation or interruption protection that is suitable for the risk they are willing to assume.
What should I do?
BUY TRAVEL PROTECTION. We suggest you:
Have medical insurance
Purchase travel protection that includes trip cancellation and interruption protection
Purchase “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage if not already included in the travel protection policy
Insurance companies are there to protect you for a variety of matters surrounding your travel for which you may be unable or unwilling to assume as a risk personally.
Who should I purchase travel protection from?
Our preferred vendor for travel protection is Travel Insured which has over 25 years in the travel protection industry. Click here to get a quote and purchase.
Here are a few quick facts about their plans:
If you would like to purchase "Cancel for Any Reason" protection, you must purchase within 21 days of your trip deposit date and add the appropriate upgrade.
There is no coverage for cancellations due to fear of travel, unless you purchase "Cancel for Any Reason" which may be eligible for coverage at 75% of your trip cost.
For all other plan details, please get a quote and call a Travel Insured representative for specific questions.
Although travel protection is not a requirement, we encourage you to do your own research about what provider works best addresses your needs and concerns.
