Real-Life Stories....

Family Emergency Cuts Cruise Short
Setting sails in the Bahamas, Douglas W., and his wife never expected to use their travel insurance plan; however, after unfortunate circumstances, they were relieved to find out about their extensive coverage through Travel Guard International.

After receiving a phone call from a hospital back at home, Douglas learned of his mother-in-law's poor condition and needed to return home immediately. To his shock, each return ticket cost more than $900. Douglas received reimbursement through his Travel Guard plan covering the full amount of both tickets and the unused portion of their cruise.

"Since then, we've actually been traveling more frequently, and always use Travel Guard insurance plans," stated Douglas. "We also have a travel group, and will urge them to use Travel Guard, as well. Thank you for making a very difficult time a lot easier."

Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Insurance

  • Q. Why should a traveler buy travel insurance?
    A. Travel insurance gives travelers coverage for unforeseen problems, from a cancelled flight to a serious illness—or in rare cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier. If an illness, accident, or other covered unforeseen circumstance forces a traveler to cancel or interrupt their plans, they face two major financial losses—money invested in nonrefundable pre-payments, and medical expenses that in many instances may not be covered by health insurance.
  • Q. What happens if a traveler must cancel their vacation?
    A. Often a traveler will lose nonrefundable deposits and prepayments that can add up to hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars. A comprehensive travel insurance plan through  can provide trip cancellation coverage for the traveler's vacation investment—the insurance company reimburses the traveler for all pre-paid, nonrefundable expenses for a covered loss.
  • Q. How does trip cancellation and interruption coverage work?
    A. It reimburses for forfeited, nonrefundable, unused payments or deposits if the traveler must cancel or interrupt their trip due to a covered reason.
  • Q. What other coverage is typically included in an travel insurance plan?
    A. In addition to trip cancellation and interruption, the more comprehensive travel insurance plans available today may also cover emergency medical expenses; emergency medical transportation, when ordered by a doctor, to the nearest adequate medical facility; reimbursement for accommodations and expenses incurred due to travel delays; reimbursement for the purchase of essential items if baggage is delayed; and coverage against lost, stolen or damaged baggage.
  • Q. Does travel insurance cover terrorism?
    A. Many travel insurance policies do not cover terrorism, or only cover terrorist acts that occur on foreign soil. Travel insurance from some suppliers like Travel Guard can cover terrorist incidents both in the United States and abroad.
  • More Questions....
  • Q. Is the financial default of an airline, cruise line or tour operator covered?
    A. Many of Travel Guard's retail insurance programs include financial default coverage if the program is purchased within 15 days of making the initial trip deposit.
  • Q. Does Travel Guard offer travel insurance plans tailored to specific types of travel?
    A. Yes. Travel Guard offers travel insurance plans for an array of budgets, from modest trips to high-end luxury vacations. There are also products for last-minute getaways and extended trips, and specific coverage plans for cruise travelers, golf travelers, students, and sports travel.
  • Q. How much does travel insurance cost?
    A. The cost of travel insurance is based, in most cases, on the value of the trip and the age of the traveler. Typically, the cost is five to seven percent of the trip cost.
  • Q. What else is offered with the purchase of an Travel Guard plan?
    A. To boost travelers' confidence when traveling, Travel Guard has added LiveTravel® assistance, which provides 24-hour, "911" emergency travel agency-type services to all standard retail plans, in case a traveler has to change a flight or a hotel room. Travel Guard has also added assistance with emergency cash transfers, pre-trip consultation services (travel advisories, passport requirements, inoculation information, etc.), and live messaging, which will relay any e-mail or phone message to family, friends or business associates.
