Travel Insurance
Your air tickets, yacht, hotel, and tour payments are all fully insurable with a simple trip cancellation policy. Just calculate the dollar amount of any sums you have “at risk” and wish to have refunded should you have to cancel your trip.
Clicking on the Travel Guard link, the blue banner at the bottom of this page, will take you to the travel insurer I have used and recommended for over two decades. Their Website provides user-friendly tools that allow you to compare various insurance packages. The website tool helps you customize quotes for what-if scenarios.
Plans can be custom-tailored to your needs and can even cover pre-existing medical conditions and contingencies for family members who are not traveling with you.
Whether you have planned your own itinerary or are a member of a scheduled tour, you may face per-person cost increases when a traveling companion cancels.
For example: Someone has a serious accident and must drop out of your group. Your tour falls short of the number of participants on which the tour price was based, so your per-person price rises…. Or, the friend with whom you’d planned to share a room has a business crisis and can’t accompany you. You still wish to travel, but don’t relish paying a single supplement….Many of the Travel Guard policies include provisions that cover such increased costs.
Should your travel arrangements be disrupted, enjoy the reassurance of knowing that Travel Guard has a cadre of intelligent people whom you may phone (collect!). From anywhere in the world, you can contact their team 24/7 to relieve you of the burden of reconfiguring your trip flights, transfers, and lodging.
GOOD NEWS: Travel Guard WILL insure for travel delays, interruptions, and cancellations caused by volcanic ash. The company considers the atmospheric disturbance of volcanic ash to be a “natural disaster” and treats ash-related assistance and claims just as they would if those claims had been precipitated by a hurricane.
