Coronavirus Policy Date Changes and Claims

Each company requires you to furnish all your supporting documentation. This includes documentation from any travel arrangements you bought independently for the same trip. If you bought airfare on your own, the airline is likely waiving the change fees when you re-use the tickets. This is not the same as getting a cash refund.

Except for us, companies are currently experiencing unusually high call volumes and this will continue for the foreseeable future.

Travel Insured

• Travel has not and will not take place due to COVID-19.
• A claim hasn’t already been filed against the plan.
• The voucher will list an expiration date, based on the original date of purchase. The new trip will need to depart by this date.

Important: The voucher’s value cannot be used to pay for a premium on a policy that is already in force. Nor can you use the voucher’s value to buy a different policy than the one the voucher is associated with.

• Here’s the link to Travel Insured’s Voucher Request Form: https://www.travelinsured.com/vouchers/
• When you know your new dates of travel, we will update your protection plan to reflect new dates.
  – If your original purchase date is June 28th 2021 or earlier, your new trip must depart no later than 12/31/2023.
  – If your original purchase date is June 29th 2021 or later, your new trip must depart no later than 3 years from your original application date.

  Please note: this does not apply to plans that have existing vouchers on them or have been noted for future travel prior to 12/1/2021.

• If a voucher was issued prior to 10/1/2020 then the expiration date would be as listed on the voucher details which would be 3 years from the original plan purchase date. The Voucher for your future use will be provided in an email format.
• Even though Travel Insured calls this a “Voucher”, what you actually have is the same policy that you would re-use for a future trip.
• If your new trip’s cost is higher, you would increase the coverage and pay the difference in price. If your new trip’s cost is lower, you would decrease the coverage and receive the difference in price as a refund.
• We’re happy to help you make your changes. Let us know if you make any changes so we can keep your information up to date.

• TravelSafe needs the request in writing with proof of refund/credit.
• If you choose to transfer your policy to another trip, you will be able to make adjustments to the trip cost. This option also requires documentation showing they are not within penalty.

Travel Guard

• The client must inform AIG Travel Guard of the trip cancellation prior to the departure date. It is imperative the insured make the voucher request prior to, and not after, the departure date. We cannot issue a voucher after the departure date.
• The client must complete and submit the voucher request form under the following conditions:
• You request a voucher prior to your trip departure date,
• You confirm that you have not incurred any travel supplier fees, penalties, or unused, non-refundable, pre-paid trip costs, and
• You have not filed a claim.
• If the above requirements are met, our administration team will issue the client a voucher for the value of the premium. The voucher must be applied within two years from the voucher issuance date.
• If the client does not apply the voucher to another AIG Travel insurance policy in the two-year period, the voucher cannot be extended.
• If the new policy premium is more than the voucher amount, the client is responsible for any additional premium. If the new policy premium is less than the voucher value, no refund or future voucher will be given for the difference.

Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (BHTP)

• You may move the travel dates to a future trip, but the request must be done prior to the departure date on the plan. If you or us, on your behalf, contact BHTP before your departure date, you may update your plan’s travel dates. If your policy was bought after Sept 30, 2019, a new quote would be calculated. If the cost is higher, you will the owe the difference. If it’s less, you’ll be refunded the difference.
• If you do not update your dates prior to the departure date on your plan, you will have to provide proof of 100% refund to transfer the dates. Once the documentation is supplied, BHTP will then purchase a new plan and cancel the old plan refunding the cost of the old plan.
