You've booked your dream vacation, planned every detail and excitement is building. But what if the unexpected happens? This is where travel protection becomes essential¡ªand timing is everything. Many travelers make the mistake of waiting too long to purchase coverage, not realizing that buying early offers significant advantages that late purchasers miss out on.
Key Benefits of Early Purchase
More Comprehensive Coverage Options: Purchase your travel protection within 14-21 days of your initial trip deposit, and you'll gain access to premium options like the Cancel and Interrupt for Any Reason Bundle. Available with our Worldwide Trip Protector Deluxe and Platinum Plans (additional costs apply), this coverage allows you to recover up to 75% of non-refundable costs even for reasons not typically covered¡ªlike sudden work commitments or simply changing your mind.
Pre-Existing Condition Coverage: One of the most valuable benefits of early purchase is securing a waiver for pre-existing medical condition exclusions. This typically must be done within 14-21 days of your initial deposit. Without this waiver, conditions you were diagnosed with before purchasing your plan could be excluded from coverage¡ªpotentially leaving you responsible for significant costs.
Flexibility and Customization: Our Worldwide Trip Protector Plans let you add optional bundles like cruise coverage, sports equipment protection, and rental car coverage. Most can be added until departure, allowing you to tailor protection as your plans evolve.
Peace of Mind from Day One
When you purchase travel protection early, you're covered from that moment forward. If a winter storm cancels your flight or your friend's destination wedding gets called off after you've booked but before you've purchased protection, you could be left with non-recoverable expenses.
Don't let procrastination cost you valuable coverage. Purchase travel protection soon after booking, and you can focus on what really matters¡ªmaking wonderful memories on your journey.
