PLEASE NOTE: You must purchase your travel insurance within 14 days of first deposit to insure pre-existing conditions and additional coverage

There are 2 main options to consider:

Option one- cancel for any reason or cancel anytime. This expands the reasons for cancelation and if it’s not a covered reason it will be paid approximately 80% of the total insured.
Option two- classic plan which most importantly will cover cancelation for sickness, death or injury.

There is also coverage while traveling too if you choose to add this to your plan.
