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, or health insurance policies cover me during my trip?

A. Other insurance policies may not offer coverage while you travel due to benefit limits, territory restrictions, and deductibles. Most 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 policies may not offer. The medical coverage included in this insurance plan is vital for most people whose health insurance policies do not pay for covered 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 enrolling in this insurance plan because you can waive the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion by enrolling in the plan and paying for it within 21 days of your initial deposit. So long as you are medically able to travel at time of purchase, waiving the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion is the easiest way to alleviate doubt as to coverage for chronic medical conditions. There are some conditions that are not covered by the policy such as anxiety-related mental or nervous disorders. Please see the Exclusions section of the Description of Coverage to view these coverages.
