You're Protected! Vacations aren't a luxury, they're a necessity. It's the time you need to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries. And catch up with friends and family. Too often, for reasons you might never expect, you might need to cancel your vacation or even return home early. Illness or Injury. The death of a family member. The worst part is, without adequate protection, you can lose not only your vacation, but your money as well. TravelSafe protects your travel investment if your trip is canceled or interrupted for a covered reason such as: Injury, Sickness or death of you, an Immediate Family Member, a Traveling Companion or Business Partner; Financial Insolvency of a tour operator, cruise line or airline; or a Terrorist Act (note, conditions apply, please read full policy details.)   And... for our most complete protection, we now offer our Optional Cancel For Any Reason Benefit. If you must interrupt your trip or return home early, TravelSafe will pay (up to 150% of the original cost of your trip) for your unused land or cruise arrangements, less any refund paid or payable, plus the additional air expense to return home or rejoin your trip. TravelSafe will also pay the additional cost for a change in the per person occupancy rate if a Traveling Companion's trip is canceled and your trip continues. Who's going to pay for your medical expenses and what if you need emergency assistance on your trip? When you are ill or injured, you don't need the added worry about is getting the care your need. TravelSafe ensures your peace of mind with benefits that cover, up to the plan limits ($100,000 for Medical Expenses and $1,000,000 for Emergency Medical Evacuation), everything from medical expenses (incurred within one year of a Sickness or Injury that began during your trip) to special transportation (such as an air ambulance) required for medical reasons.
