Hi Steve, We recently paid our trip’s Final Payment, but didn’t buy a Trip Cancellation plan. Based on what I read on other websites, it’s too late to get a policy. But, your name keeps coming up online as the person to get the right answer from, so can you help me? We don’t need coverage for any pre-existing medical conditions. Thanks, Maxine<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi Maxine, Thanks for writing. I’m happy to tell you that, yes you are able to get a Trip Cancellation plan after you pay your Final Payment. There are only two deadlines for buying a Trip Cancellation plan after you paid your Final Payment:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The day before you leave home for your trip. Or,<\/li>\n
  2. Two days before something unexpectedly bad happens (i.e. – a covered reason to cancel your trip) where you wish you had already bought the Travel Insurance plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some examples of unexpectedly bad things that could happen making you wish you had bought the Travel Insurance plan a few days earlier: You get hit by a Cement Truck<\/a>, weather is forecasted or a natural disaster occurs that will affect your trip, a non-traveling family member has a medical emergency, a transportation strike, your company cancels your previously-approved time off and tells you are needed at work.<\/p>\n

    The reason I said “unexpectedly” is because if the circumstance is already known, it’s too late to get a plan to cover you. Here are some of the Blog entries I wrote that address this: Do Callers Think We Were Born Yesterday?<\/a>, New Job Will Not Allow Me to Take My Trip<\/a>, Don\u2019t Buy Travel Insurance When You\u2019re Ill and Past the Deadlines<\/a>, Travel Insurance Can\u2019t Help Debbie<\/a> and Travel Insurance Won\u2019t Help With Paul\u2019s Pre-Ex Condition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    There are more entries along this line in the 373 other Blog entries I’ve written in the past fifteen and a half years since September 2007, but I think you get the gist of it.<\/p>\n

    PS – I’ve had a breakthrough with my Long Covid I’ve had since May 2020. I’ll write about it next time.<\/p>\n
