Trip Cancellation Insurance

This type of coverage is not included in the price of the program but provides protection against trip cancellation or interruption due to death, serious illness, or injury.  Although we don’t include this type of coverage nor do we sell these policies, we recommend to everyone to look into the benefits it provides. Access America provides this type of coverage.  There are many other companies that do this at similar rates.    Their phone number is  1-800-284-8300.
