CSA Travel Protection – Custom Luxe

Editor Review

csa-custom-luxeThe Good: This plan provides top-notch coverage with generous plan maximums, and a lot of features like identity theft, concierge services, and consult a doctor services. Plus, pre-existing conditions are included in the base plan, as are supplier default and rental car coverage.

The Drawbacks: The only drawback is that baggage must be delayed 24 hours before you can receive financial assistance. Must be a resident of the U.S. or Canada.

The Bottom Line: CSA Travel Protection offers this as their high-end, full coverage package travel insurance plan and it’s coverage is inclusive of many protections travelers find helpful when they find themselves in a sticky travel situation. CSA may have a limited set of plans, but that makes choosing quick and easy.
