Travel Insurance

We ask everyone who registers for one of our trips to purchase a travel insurance policy at the time of registering. As we’ve all learned in recent years especially, travel realities can change quickly with one headline, phone call, accident, or unexpected life interruption. As we continue to recover from the financial impact to our business during the pandemic and the war, we are unable to fund exceptions to our stated refund policy.

We urge you to protect your trip payment investments by purchasing a “Cancel for Any Reason” travel insurance policy, that covers your Program Land Fee value of all pre-trip payments made. The additional cash amount you bring in tips can be covered if you wish, but is less necessary as we only collect this on arrival, so is not at risk if you cancel your trip prior to travel.

You may also want to include your estimated flight cost in this policy, though many prefer to do this separately through the airline while booking. Please note, we are unable to make exceptions to our refund policy for any situation, as it is in line with our contracted payment obligations to travel providers in the lands in which we operate.

If you plan to arrive early, or depart late, or add additional travel, please adjust your dates and coverage amounts to cover this. Most policies will allow you to adjust this to include additional travel if you are unsure; the important thing is to cover your known travel dates according to this trip as soon as possible from registration and initial deposit.

Travel Insurance Options:

“CFAR - Cancel for any reason” coverage is available for many policies purchased soon after paying your initial deposit (often needs to be purchased within 3 weeks of your initial paid deposit). This level of policy can be more expensive, but for those whose risk of travel interruption is known to be higher, including those caring for dependent seniors or minors, or with known health issues, this kind of policy offers the most security for your trip payment investment. Please review all options for your situation with trip insurance companies and purchase a policy immediately at the level that is best for your situation.

Travel Insurance Companies: Travel the Text does not sell or recommend any specific travel insurance policy or agency. Many group members have recently found Allianz to offer quick and reliable coverage and claim assistance even during the war and pandemic, that other policies more quickly denied.
