COMMON QUESTIONS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Are epidemics and\/or pandemics excluded from coverage in Travel Insurance plans? No. Travel Insurance does not exclude epidemics and\/or pandemics from coverage.\u00a0 However, most coverages require a triggering event to occur. Triggering events that may occur because of the coronavirus are discussed below for several coverages. \u00a0Is Cancel for Any Reason still available if I purchase a plan after February 11, 2020? Yes. Cancel for Any Reason is still available as an optional benefit for the Travel Insurance plan (not available in NY).<\/p><ul><li>Click here to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travelsafe.com\/?agent=6997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase travel trip insurance<\/a>\u00a0on-line<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>When must I buy my plan to be eligible for Cancel For Any Reason?<\/strong><\/p><p>Within 14 to 21 days of the date of your initial trip deposit or payment is received for your trip.<\/p><p>When must I cancel my trip?<\/p><p>48 hours or more days before your scheduled departure date.<\/p><p>Do I still have the Trip Cancellation benefit in my plan if I buy Cancel for Any Reason?<\/p><p>Yes!

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES REGARDING THE VARIOUS COVERAGES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE (ITEMS BELOW ARE EXAMPLES)<\/strong><\/p><p>Trip Delay \u2013 Additional meal, local transportation and accommodation expenses may be reimbursed up to the amount provided by the plan if you have left home and travel is delayed 6 hours or more due to common carrier (such as airplane) delays or cancellations. Coverage may also apply due to quarantine. Additional covered reasons may apply. The dollar amount of coverage will be based on the plan you selected. Please refer to your plan documents for complete details.<\/p><p>Missed Connection \u2013 This benefit can reimburse unused land and water arrangements and additional transportation to catch up to the trip if you miss your cruise or tour departure because you are delayed for three hours or more by a covered reason. Covered reasons can include a three-hour delay of a common carrier (such as an airplane), or if you are placed in quarantine due to the coronavirus. The dollar amount of coverage for Missed Connection will vary depending on the plan you purchased. For more details, please review your plan documents.<\/p><p>Trip Interruption \u2013 Travel Insurance plans offer Trip Interruption coverage for your travel arrangements if they are disrupted and you must join your trip late, leave early, or return later than originally scheduled due to a covered reason. Depending on the Travel Insurance plan, covered reasons to interrupt the trip can include quarantine due to the coronavirus or a government-mandated shutdown of an airport or air traffic control system for reasons other than terrorism or an act of war. You may also be covered if you lose 50% or more of your scheduled trip duration due to quarantine because of the coronavirus or due to a common carrier (such as an airplane) delay. Trip Interruption bases the dollar amount of coverage on the amount of trip cost you insured on the plan. To be certain that you have this protection, please review your plan documents or call the Travel Insurance Company.<\/p><p>Trip Cancellation \u2013 Travel Insurance plans offer Trip Cancellation of your trip if your arrival on the trip is delayed and causes you to lose 50% or more of the scheduled trip duration due to the reasons covered under the Missed Connection benefit. Covered reasons can include if you are quarantined and it results in you losing 50% or more of your scheduled trip duration or if a common carrier (such as an airplane) delay results in you losing 50% or more of your scheduled trip duration. The dollar amount of coverage is determined by the amount of trip cost you insured on the plan. Please read your plan documents for specific information.<\/p><p>This information is a general overview of coverages that may apply if travel plans are impacted by the coronavirus. The coverage available for your trip will be based on the terms in your travel protection plan. Additional terms apply to all coverages discussed. Additional coverages may be able to provide benefits. Please refer to your plan documents to learn more or contact the company with questions.

If you cancel your trip for a covered reason, you will only be reimbursed the money actually paid for the solo travel trip. However, under the Gold and Platinum Plans, Travel Insurance will reimburse up to a limit of airline-imposed changes or reissue fees if your trip is cancelled by your travel supplier.<\/p><ul><li>Click here to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travelsafe.com\/?agent=6997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase travel trip insurance<\/a>\u00a0on-line<\/li><\/ul><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><b>What is Zero Cost Trip Insurance and How Can It Save Me Hundreds?<\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The cost is found on the $0 line of the insurance form. \u00a0You get all the benefits of travel insurance (lost or delayed bags, medical, evacuation accident, etc) except one thing \u2013\u00a0<b>Trip Cancellation.<\/b>\u00a0 You will not get reimbursed should you cancel the trip. \u00a0So if you want insurance and know you\u2019re not canceling it may be worth peace of mind to spend a couple of bucks. \u00a0However, if you feel you may have to cancel, then it\u2019s wise to\u00a0buy whole package. \u00a0(The chart is for example purposes only.)<\/p><ul><li>Click here to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travelsafe.com\/?agent=6997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase travel trip insurance<\/a>\u00a0on-line<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>If I am\u00a0<\/strong><strong>waitlisted<\/strong><strong>\u00a0for a trip when must I purchase travel insurance?<\/strong><br \/>You must purchase travel insurance once your waitlist has cleared and your deposit was then transferred to the \u201ccleared\u201d waitlist\/reservation.<\/p><p>Example: On July 1, you give a \u201cgood faith\u201d deposit for space to clear or open up on a specific trip and that space clears on August 1.

Below you\u2019ll find high-level information about travel insurance, why it is important for every traveler, and how to stay prepared in case you do need to use the coverage.<\/p><p><strong>How Does Travel Insurance Work?<\/strong><\/p><p>Unlike home insurance or car insurance, travel insurance is purchased on a need basis for either individual trips or an annual term. The most popular type of travel insurance is a comprehensive plan which will provide a level of coverage for trip concerns, like trip cancellation or travel delay \u2013 and for emergency medical care<\/p><p><strong>What is the Purpose of Travel Insurance?<\/strong><\/p><p>Simple: to protect a financial investment in travel and one\u2019s self from expensive emergency medical bills. While travel insurance cannot prevent travel mishaps, it can assist travelers in paying for or being reimbursed for unexpected changes in travel plans or emergency medical care \u2013 including evacuation costs, if needed<\/p><p><strong>How Much Should Travel Insurance Cost?<\/strong><\/p><p>Generally, your coverage should cost 4-10% of your trip cost. The premium of a plan will range due to the level of coverage and maximum benefits available in the plan. It\u2019s important to understand how to calculate your trip cost correctly so you do not overpay (or underpay) for a plan. \u00a0You can always amend the trip cost after the initial purchase.<\/p><ul><li>Click here to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travelsafe.com\/?agent=6997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase travel trip insurance<\/a>\u00a0on-line<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>What is a Review Period?<\/strong><\/p><p>Most travel insurance companies allow up to 10 days to review a plan you have purchased. Essentially, this is a grace period that allows you to read through the policy and decide if you purchased the right level of coverage. During this time you can cancel your policy, if you don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary, or make adjustments to it to scale your benefits up or down.<\/p><p><strong>Avoiding Travel Insurance Claims Issues<\/strong><\/p><p>One of the biggest reasons travelers become dissatisfied with travel insurance is due to issues with filing a claim. Before you travel it\u2019s important to know exactly what you need in case filing a claim is necessary. We recommend keeping all your receipts, having your policy number handy and keeping the correct phone numbers for your travel insurance company close by. This will help reduce frustrations during a claim process.<\/p><ul><li>Click here to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travelsafe.com\/?agent=6997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase travel trip insurance<\/a>\u00a0on-line<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel Insurance 101 How do I buy Travel Insurance? \u00a0 There are several ways: Click here to\u00a0purchase travel trip insurance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16476","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16476"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16484,"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16476\/revisions\/16484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv51.demowebsitelinks.com\/afstravelers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
