Editor Review
The Good: This plan provides good coverage for all the benefits expected in a travel insurance package plan. Kids age 17 and under are covered when accompanied by a covered adult. If the child’s trip cost exceeds $10,000 or the adult trip cost or trip length exceeds 30 days, the child will be charged the corresponding plan cost. Multiple optional upgrades are available to fill out any coverage gaps allowing you to customize your plan to fit your needs. Pre-existing condition waiver is available if the plan is purchased within 15 days of initial trip payment.
The Drawbacks: Plan is only available to U.S. citizens and not all benefits are available to citizens of all U.S. States.
The Bottom Line: Excellent family-friendly coverage with kids up to 17 years of age covered free (see details above).

Plan Details
This plan is unique in that it provides the following:
- Covered reasons for trip cancellation and interruption include inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, strikes, travel supplier financial default, natural disasters, terrorist acts, and more.
- Medical coverage is primary.
