Protect Your Trip Investment!

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance as soon as you make your initial trip deposit, ideally within 24 hours, especially if you're interested in optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) protection.

CFAR coverage is time-sensitive and may require purchasing insurance within a specified number of days after your initial trip payment. Eligibility deadlines, reimbursement amounts, and coverage terms vary by insurance provider, policy, and state.

Don't wait until your final payment to purchase insurance! Waiting could mean losing eligibility for valuable cancellation protection.

Purchase or explore insurance options here:

Travelers are responsible for selecting appropriate coverage, confirming eligibility deadlines, and reviewing policy terms. CFAR coverage is optional, is not available with every policy, and generally reimburses only a portion of eligible nonrefundable expenses.
