Deposit: $10.00

Vacations by Robin highly recommends all travelers purchase travel insurance. 
 
THE PRICE LISTED BELOW IS NOT THE ACTUAL COST OF TRIP PROTECTION. THE PRICE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF COVERAGE REQUESTED AND ALL TRAVEL COMPONENTS COVERED. BY SELECTING BOOK NOW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DEPOSIT PAID WILL GO TOWARD THE ACTUAL COST OF TRIP INSURANCE OR BE REFUNDED IF TRIP INSURANCE IS DECLINED. 
 

Travel insurance protection offers a range of valuable benefits that can provide peace of mind and financial security during your travels. Here are some key benefits of having travel insurance:

1. **Trip Cancellation Coverage:** Life is unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to cancel your trip due to unexpected events such as illness, injury, or the death of a family member. Travel insurance can reimburse you for the non-refundable portion of your trip expenses.

2. **Trip Interruption Coverage:** If your trip is cut short due to unforeseen circumstances like a family emergency or a natural disaster, travel insurance can cover the additional expenses incurred for returning home early.

3. **Emergency Medical Coverage:** If you fall ill or get injured while traveling, especially abroad where medical costs can be high, travel insurance can cover medical expenses, hospital stays, emergency medical evacuations, and repatriation back to your home country.

4. **Baggage and Personal Belongings Coverage:** If your luggage gets lost, stolen, or damaged during your trip, travel insurance can help reimburse you for the value of your belongings.

5. **Travel Delay Coverage:** If your flight or other transportation is delayed for a significant amount of time, travel insurance can provide reimbursement for additional expenses like accommodation, meals, and transportation.

6. **Missed Connection Coverage:** If you miss a connecting flight due to a delay or cancellation of the first leg of your journey, travel insurance can cover the costs of rebooking transportation to your final destination.

7. **Emergency Assistance Services:** Travel insurance often comes with 24/7 emergency assistance services. These services can provide valuable support in a foreign country, such as helping with language translation, finding medical facilities, or arranging emergency transportation.

8. **Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Coverage:** In the unfortunate event of a fatal accident or one that leads to permanent disability, travel insurance can provide a benefit payout to your designated beneficiaries or to you directly.

9. **Rental Car Coverage:** If you plan to rent a car during your trip, some travel insurance policies offer coverage for damage to or theft of the rental vehicle.

10. **Financial Protection:** Travel insurance can protect you from significant financial losses in case of unexpected events during your trip, reducing the risk of incurring substantial out-of-pocket expenses.

It's important to note that the specific coverage and benefits may vary depending on the type of travel insurance policy you choose. Always read and understand the terms and conditions of your policy to ensure it aligns with your travel needs and provides the level of protection you desire. Remember, investing in travel insurance is a smart way to safeguard your travel investment and focus on creating wonderful memories during your journey.
