 Q. Why should I purchase travel insurance for my vacation? A. You've saved, you've waited, and now you're all set to travel. Preparing for your trip includes covering yourself for unfortunate occurrences that can interfere with even your best-laid plans. By purchasing a travel insurance plan, you can insure yourself for covered cancellation penalties, medical costs, as well as gain access to a wide range of traveler's assistance services. Did you know that the All Seasons Travel Plan could cover you if: What are the coverages?

Q. Are the benefits listed per insured or per booking? A. The benefits for Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption are the total per booking. For example if the insured purchased travel insurance coverage for a trip costing a total of $2,000, this would be the maximum reimbursement allowable under trip cancellation or interruption for that booking. All other coverages are per person with the exception of the Car Rental Collision Coverage which is per car coverage. Q. Will my current homeowners, renters, credit card, health or insurance policies cover me during my trip? A. Other insurance may not provide coverage while you travel due to coverage provisions, limitations, exclusions and restrictions. Many people don't have any insurance coverage at all if they must cancel their trip. This insurance plan has a wide range of travel benefits; which credit card, homeowners, and renter's insurance may not provide. The medical expense coverage included in this insurance plan is vital for people whose health insurance plans may not pay for medical expenses incurred outside of the United States (e.g., Medicare, certain HMO's, etc.) This coverage in this plan is primary. Q. I know that I have a pre-existing medical condition; will the plan cover me? A. Even if you have a medical condition that has been unstable in the last 60 days, you should still consider purchasing this insurance plan because the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion will be waived if you purchase the plan within 21 days of your initial deposit. As long as you are medically able to travel at time of purchase, having the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion waiver is the easiest way to help alleviate doubt as to coverage due to chronic medical conditions. There are some conditions that are not included in the exclusion wiaver such as anxiety related mental or nervous disorders. Please see the Exclusions section of the Description of Coverage to view these conditions. Q. One of the covered reasons listed under trip cancellation is "Sickness, Injury or death of an Insured, Family Member, Traveling Companion, Service Animal or Business Partner".

The Business Partner definition means a person who: (1) is involved with the Insured or the Insured's Traveling Companion in a legal partnership; and (2) is actively involved in the daily management of the business. The Service Animal definition means any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding persons with impaired vision, alerting persons with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing animal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. Q. Given the current economy, what if my spouse loses his/her job? A. The All Seasons Travel Plan includes coverage for trip cancellation/interruption due to involuntary termination or layoff which occurs more than 14 days after an Insured's effective date of coverage. Only one year of employment with the same employer is required.
