Travel insurance Information
Optional travel insurance is available and EverAfter Travel encourages travelers to consider purchasing insurance as it can not only cover things like trip delays/cancellations, but it can also provide medical coverage while you're traveling just in case something happens - this is very important because your own medical insurance typically does not include international coverage.
You can click here to review all of the insurance option details for Allianz Travel Insurance and get a quote if you are interested.
When you are attempting to get a quote, the amount of insurance needed is typically the total value amount of your vacation package. Also, you will need to enter F030702 as the Travel Agency ID (ACCAM#) when prompted.
*IMPORTANT things to note about Allianz Travel Insurance:
-You can call and speak to one of the insurance agent experts directly if you have any policy questions at 1.866.884.3556
-Insurance coverage starts the day after it is purchased
-You can only add Cancel Anytime coverage on the date of deposit
-Cancel Anytime insurance is not available for purchase online - you will need to call and speak to an insurance agent directly
-Coverage for pre-existing conditions only applies if insurance is purchased WITHIN 14 days of deposit
-You need to update your insurance coverage immediately for any trip components added at a later date that you want covered e.g. flights
-There are several policy types to choose from and the policy price is determined by the following: the amount of insurance you need, your age(s) and the specific policy type you choose
