Pertaining to Swine Flu, the only way you can be sure that you won't lose money by being forced to cancel your trip is if you have a "Cancel For Any Reason" plan. click here to see the "Cancel For Any Reason" details.

One Swine Flu risk is that you're not sick, but due to government actions you can't travel. The only travel insurance plan that will help you is a "Cancel For Any Reason" plan.


Swine Flu Concerns? Here's how the companies we trust will cover you (or not). This is important because the WHO declared Swine Flu (H1N1) a Pandemic on 6/11/09:

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.

Q. What if I have already have Swine Flu, Noro Virus, Norwalk, Cruise Ship Sickness, SARS or Bird Flu or any other sickness or illness?

A. If you already have a sickness or illness, you need to be sure you get Pre-Existing Medical Conditions is coverage. If you want to waive the pre-existing medical condition exclusion for cancellation, interruption & medical treatment, you have to fulfill these 4 requirements:

  1. With these exceptions: CSA, HTH & Travelex Lite & Plus, you have to insure at least your trip's full prepaid, non-refundable cost (you can't round it down). If you don't know your final trip cost, estimate it high to be safe. You can always lower to the correct trip cost prior to your departure date. If it drops you to a lower trip cost range, you'll get a partial refund. and

  2. The person with the medical condition has to be medically stable when you get your insurance and

  3. You must get your travel insurance in the first 14 or 21 days after your first trip payment date (Travelex, Travel Guard, Travel Insured and TravelSafe) or no later than 24 Hours after you make your final Trip payment for CSA & HTH and

  4. You have to cover your trip's full length.

Travelers worried about contracting SARS on the road may want to check their insurance. Steve Dasseos, who owns the online travel insurance company TripInsuranceStore.com, advises people to find out whether the illness would be covered under the medical portion of their policy, and also to familiarize themselves with exclusions, which can be numerous.

"To avoid any unpleasant surprises, people should definitely find out exactly what coverage the company they are considering will have for SARS," Dasseos said.
