Editor Review
The Good: Offering very broad coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, this plan also comes with an unusual benefit: ‘interruption for any reason’ as well as ‘cancel for any reason’. High car rental coverage is included in the base plan, as well as good coverage for delays, missed connections, and baggage losses. Travel accident protection is also included in base plan and trips as long as 180 days are covered.
The Drawbacks: Plans with $0 trip costs have reduced benefits.
The Bottom Line: It’s easy to see why this is Travel Insured’s most popular plan because it has high limits and inclusive benefits like pet protection, car rental coverage, and AD&D in the base plan. Optional coverage upgrades have simple and affordable per-person pricing, so it’s easy to know how much the coverage will cost right up front.
