Editor Review
The 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. If the insured meets the pre-existing medical conditions requirements, the exclusion does not apply. CSA also covers the actual cash value it lost or stolen items under their baggage 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.
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.
