Why should I purchase a Travel Protection Plan when I have other coverage? What is the difference?

For Medical Protection – Your personal healthcare plan can be unreliable when traveling outside of your home country. If you were to get sick or injured there is no guarantee that your medical care will be paid for by your home health insurance plan. With travel insurance, you are reimbursed for any doctor visit no matter how minor or major and your hospital bill is paid directly to the hospital so you are not stuck with a high bill that you have to pay on the spot.

For Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption – All travel suppliers, whether they are tour operators, hotels, travel agencies, cruise lines or airlines, have cancellation penalties. You pay a deposit or final payment toward a trip and these suppliers will apply their published penalties to your trip. You will find the published penalties more severe as your scheduled departure date gets closer. These published penalties inform you that if you cancel, the supplier will hold all or a large percentage of your monies placed as down payment, deposit or final payment. You will lose this money. Trip Cancellation and Interruption is designed to reimburse you for your loss if you cancel or interrupt for a covered reason.

Can I buy travel protection without any trip cancellation coverage?

Yes, you can choose a plan that excludes this coverage but still includes a full range of benefits to protect you during your trip, including coverage for: trip delay, emergency medical, medical evacuation / repatriation, baggage and baggage delay, itinerary change and much more.

What happens if I purchase a protection plan and need to make changes (trip cost, dates, etc.)?

Simply call us at 1-703-443-9055 or email us at info@travelprotectors.com along with your policy # and we will happily make changes.

Will I receive an insurance card to carry with me after I purchase?

You will receive a Confirmation of Coverage and applicable policy documents via e-mail or regular mail. You can choose the delivery method when you purchase the plan. Confirmation of coverage will include travel assistance phone numbers to call in case of an emergency. The policy documents will explain the benefits, conditions, limitations and exclusions. You should take both your confirmation of coverage and all policy documents with you while you travel in case of an emergency.
