And the included Trip Delay benefit will apply to offset costs for mandatory quarantine expense should you test positive.

If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit (CFAR) - (non-insurance feature)

When you purchase our Travel Protection Plan, you also receive our Cancel for Any Reason Waiver (CFAR) Benefit.  This benefit allows for cancellation up to 72 hours before your scheduled departure for any reason not otherwise covered in the Travel Protection Plan. CFAR is a separate non-insurance benefit. Travelers must first attempt to cover cancellation with Travel Protection. For those claims not eligible for Travel Protection coverage, CFAR will allow for a future credit, less applicable fees outlined below. Travel Protection and CFAR benefits may not be combined.
 
  • Independent or escorted tour reservations will be eligible for a future travel credit equal to the full cost of your trip, less the cost of initial deposit, airline-assessed fees, amendment fees, and insurance premium.  
  • Sea or river cruise reservations will be eligible for a future travel credit equal to 50% of the cost of your trip, less the cost of initial trip deposit, airline-assessed fees, amendment fees, and insurance premium.
CFAR credits are valid for a period of two years from the original date of travel. CFAR Credits have no cash value and are not transferrable.  
 
Airline-assessed fees are generally $300 per person, but may be as much as fully non-refundable. Some non-refundable airline tickets may retain value, less airline-assessed fees. Your future air credit must be used to book with the same airline.  Deadlines to rebook and complete travel vary by airline and may be as early as 12 months from when the tickets were originally issued (not the date of travel).
