Common Questions and their answers:

Q. Do I get to list a beneficiary?

A. Yes, you may list a beneficiary when you are activating the coverage. There’s only room on the application for one beneficiary. You can add multiple beneficiaries just by faxing a letter of instruction toll free to “Processing” at 1-800-955-8785.

Q. Will my confirmation page show my beneficiary?

A. No. You don’t see your beneficiary listed on the confirmation page because Travel Guard keeps it confidential. In the event that you wanted to change your beneficiary, one of the ways they verify that they’re really talking to you is to have you identify the existing beneficiary, in the same way that a credit card company asks for your mother’s maiden name.

Q. Can I activate the insurance if I am flying on a private plane?

A. No. You must be a passenger on a regularly scheduled airline or charter and operated by a properly certified pilot. Private Planes are Excluded.

Q. I am already on my trip and would like to activate my flight insurance for my trip, can I do so now?

A. Flight Guard coverage must be activated prior to departure. You can’t begin coverage after the trip has started.

Q. When does the coverage begin?

A. The coverage begins on your departure date and covers all flights during the trip, including the return flight. Note: there’s an error on Travel GuardTM‘s policy confirmation page – it says the coverage begins on the day following your purchase, when in reality it begins on your departure date.

Q. How does my beneficiary file a claim?

A. To file a claim, your beneficiary can call Travel GuardTM between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm Central Time and start the process with a Claims Analyst on the telephone. The analyst will explain what needs to be provided to Travel GuardTM in order to pay your claim. The form will then be faxed or mailed to your beneficiary to provide that information.

Q. What if I want a refund of the premium?

A. Travel GuardTM is committed to providing products and services that exceed your expectations. If you are not completely satisfied, you can receive a refund. Request must be submitted to Travel GuardTM in writing within three days of the receipt of your policy, providing it is not past your original departure date.

Losses We Cover:

We will pay this benefit if the insured is injured while riding as a passenger in or boarding or alighting from a certified passenger aircraft provided by a regularly scheduled airline or charter and operated by a properly certified pilot.
