H1N1 Flu - Quarantine Coverage
Quarantine coverage is included under trip cancellation/interruption and trip delay benefits in the event a physician or government official quarantines the traveler for any illness they have or have been exposed to which prevents traveling. Quarantine means that the person is restricted to their home, a medical facility or any dwelling - not restricted from traveling into a country or destination.
Other than if you have a "Cancel For Any Reason" plan, cancellation or interruption due to the concern of contracting the Swine Flu is not covered. This includes being afraid to travel. Cancellation or Interruption due to Sickness requires documentation by the attending physician. |
Travel Insurance Can Also Cover You 2 Ways:
Want the option of cancelling your trip (including if you don't feel safe)? Get a "Cancel For Any Reason" when you want the option of cancelling your trip for any reason including not wanting to travel because you're worried about getting sick. click here to see the "Cancel For Any Reason" details. You can change your dates of travel prior to your departure date. This means that if you want to postpone your trip, you won't forfeit your travel insurance. If your trip cost is the same, there's no extra cost nor refund due you. Important: changing travel dates means you are not making any kind of claim for your original trip. Filing a claim prevents you from changing your dates.
In addition, Travel Insured will cover your airline tickets if your travel supplier cancels its portion. This means if your cruise line, tour operator or resort cancels on you, Travel Insured will cover your airfare's cost. You have to insure 100% of your prepaid non-refundable trip cost.
