Thanks, Steve G.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hi Steve, Thanks for writing.<\/p>\n<p>You can get this anytime until the day before you leave assuming nothing bad happened that will cause you to say &#8220;I should have gotten the Trip Insurance policy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I know Steve understood what I meant by such a simple answer because he had already called us at 1-888-407-3854 to find out exactly how trip insurance works.<\/p>\n<p>However, for the rest of you who haven&#8217;t called, here&#8217;s what I didn&#8217;t include in my written answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You do not have any pre-existing medical conditions coverage because your trip was paid in full a month ago. I have plans that will <a title=\"What is a Pre-Existing Medical Condition?\" href=\"https:\/\/tripinsurancestore.com\/how-travel-insurance-pre-existing-medical-conditions-coverage-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">waive the exclusion for pre-existing medical conditions<\/a> up to 30 days past your initial trip deposit date<\/li>\n<li>Paying your trip in full doesn&#8217;t prevent you from buying trip cancellation insurance (or cruise insurance or travel insurance or trip insurance). This is a common myth spread by many in the travel industry. I don&#8217;t know why they do that.<\/li>\n<li>You don&#8217;t have to insure the full prepaid non-refundable trip costs. Because Steve isn&#8217;t getting the waiver of the pre-existing medical condition exclusion nor the Cancel For Any Reason he can insure any trip cost he wants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Sorry about the delay writing here.
