Cancel For Any Reason Travel Insurance Plans The "Cancel For Any Reason" / "Change Your Mind" is just that - cancelling your entire trip. It's not "Interrupt For Any Reason / Change Your Mind". Click here if you're looking for Lay-Off coverage The only way to be sure that you won't lose money by being forced to cancel your trip due to the Gulf oil spill is if you have a "Cancel For Any Reason / Change Your Mind" plan. You'll find "Cancel For Any Reason" Travel Insurance Plans from CSA, Travelex Select, Travelex Max, Travel Guard, Travel Insured and TravelSafe. Here are some common trip cancellation reasons that aren't normally covered by Travel insurance, yet are covered by a Cancel For Any Reason Plans. Any of these events (and a lot more) are covered by a Cancel For Any Reason Plan: You want to cancel your trip because you don't feel safe. For example, Swine Flu is everywhere and you're afraid to go to Wal-Mart. If this happens, you probably won't want to go on your trip either You change your mind and don't want to go on your trip You get a new job and your boss won't let you have the time off Your child or grandchild's team which is normally in last place is now in the State Championship Finals Your already approved vacation comes at a bad time and you know it would be better if you didn't take your trip Here Are The Purchase Deadlines: The CSA Freestyle Luxe deadline is no later than 24 hours after your initial trip payment The Travel Guard deadline is no later than 14 days after the date you made your initial trip payment The TravelSafe deadline is no later than 15 days after the date you made your initial trip payment The Travelex Select and Travel Insured WTP plans' deadlines are no later than 21 days after the date you made your initial trip payment The Travelex Max and Travel Insured Gold plans' deadlines are no later than 30 days after the date you made your initial trip payment All plans require: With the exception of TravelSafe's Vacation & Premier, You insure 100% of your expected prepaid trip costs that would be non-refundable if you got hit by a cement truck on the day you were leaving for your trip and had to cancel at the last minute; TravelSafe Vacation & Premier requires you to insure 100% of the non-refundable components of your trip that you want covered by the "Cancel For Any Reason" / "Change Your Mind". You do not have to insure your entire trip cost; and You also insure within 14 - 30 days (depending on the plan) of the payment for those arrangements including the cost of any subsequent arrangements (or any other subsequent arrangements not made through your travel agent) added to your Trip; and You are not disabled from travel at the time you pay your premium and You cancel your Trip more than two days (Travelex & TravelSafe) or fortyeight hours (CSA, Travel Guard & Travel Insured) prior to Your Scheduled Departure Date. Important: With the exception of TravelSafe Vacation & Premier, if you insure an amount less than your total prepaid trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties or restriction there will be no coverage available under the Optional Cancel For Any Reason Benefit, if purchased. This is handy to know: I use the term "scheduled penalty" below. A "scheduled penalty" is the total amount of money you'd lose at the time you cancel your trip. Cruises & Tours typically have a penalty schedule. And if you have a non-refundable airline ticket the entire cost will be the penalty because technically you can't get any of your money back if you cancel your trip. You'll see split coverages below for the CSA Freestyle Luxe and TravelSafe plans. For example, your family of four is taking a cruise costing $5,000 total ($2,000 for non-refundable airline tickets & $3,000 for the cruise). If you change your mind and cancel you trip before your final payment, your penalty is $2,000 (the non-refundable airline tickets). $2,000 divided by $5,000 is 40%. Therefore, the CSA Freestyle Luxe will refund you 90% of the $2,000 and TravelSafe will refund you 85% of the $2,000. Here's how much these plans reimburse you if you use the "Cancel For Any Reason" benefit: CSA Freestyle Luxe CSA's Detailed Description Page Cancellation Penalties Maximum payable under the policy Scheduled Penalty of 0% - 25% 100% of the scheduled penalty at the time of trip cancellation Scheduled Penalty of 26% - 50% 90% of the scheduled penalty at the time of trip cancellation Scheduled Penalty of 51% to 75% 80% of the scheduled penalty at the time of trip cancellation Scheduled Penalty of over 76% 70% of the scheduled penalty at the time of trip cancellation The Deadline to Get the CFAR Benefit No later than 24 hours after your initial trip payment Who Can Get This Plan?
