Jump To: Products from CSA | More about CSA | Screenshots of CSA website

Company Summary

The Good: “Cancel for any reason” coverage is a nice add-on for those who want cancellation coverage in any circumstance; both CSA plans feature Identity Theft protection; they also provide coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and financial default of travel supplier (see policy details regarding both); available to both Canadian and US residents

The Drawbacks: Does not cover frequent flyer fee reimbursement for canceled or interrupted flights; does not guarantee hospital payment, you pay the costs up front and are reimbursed when the claim is settled.

The Bottom Line: CSA Travel Protection plans are great for the everyday traveler. They have very consumer-friendly features like the identity theft protection, the optional “cancel for any reason” coverage, and a simple choice between their basic WebDirect plan, or the more comprehensive WebDirect Luxe.
