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 also provides 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. IMPORTANT NOTE: Travel insurance needs to be added within 14 days of deposit in order to include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
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:
-Insurance coverage starts the day after it is purchased
-You can only add Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage WITHIN 14 days of deposit
-Coverage for pre-existing conditions only applies if insurance is purchased WITHIN 14 days of deposit
-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
-You can call and speak to one of the insurance agent experts directly if you have any policy questions at 1.866.884.3556
