TRIP CANCELLATION & TRIP INTERRUPTION INSURANCE

Sometimes life takes over and your travel plans go out the window.  You can’t plan for everything. 
There are times when you are forced to call off, change, or even interrupt a well–planned trip.

The investment that you make when booking travel arrangements can be significant: 

– If you are forced to cancel your trip, you may have to pay cancellation penalties charged  by the airline or the tour operator. 

– If you must disrupt your trip and return home prematurely, the costs can be even more severe.

From the date you book your plane ticket, hotel and other travel arrangements, you can purchase your Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance. When you purchase Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance, your eligible non-refundable, pre-paid travel costs will be covered if you are forced to cancel or interrupt your trip, up to the coverage amount purchased.

Ask our Experts if you would benefit from Trip Cancellation & Interruption Coverage.
