Do I Need Travel Insurance?

It's always a good idea to protect your investment (your vacation), no matter how small or large it may be.

Travel insurance can minimize the considerable financial risks of traveling: accidents, illness, missed flights, canceled tours, lost baggage, theft, terrorism, travel-company bankruptcies, emergency evacuation, and getting your body home if you die. Each traveler’s potential loss varies, depending on how much of your trip is prepaid, the refundability of the air ticket you purchased, your state of health, the value of your luggage, where you’re traveling, the financial health of your tour company and airline, and what coverage you already have (through your medical insurance, homeowners or renters insurance, and/or credit card).

We are proud to offer travel insurance as an available add on for any vacation package. If not prompted to add-on travel insurance at checkout, please contact an agent if interested.
