Here's How the Travel Max Optional
80% Cancel For Any Reason Benefit Upgrade Works:

 The Cancel For Any Reason benefit's cost is based on your trip cost:

  • If your per person trip cost is up to $20,000 add 30% extra

  • If your per person trip cost is in the $20,001 to $50,000 range, add 60% extra

 If You cancel Your Covered Trip for any reason not otherwise covered by this plan at least two (2) days or more before Your Scheduled Departure Date, the Company will reimburse You for eighty percent (80%) of the prepaid, forfeited, non-refundable payments or deposits You paid for Your Covered Trip provided:

 (a) Your plan payment is received within thirthy (30) days of the date Your initial deposit/payment for Your Covered Trip is received; and
 (b) You insure all prepaid Covered Trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties or restrictions; and
 (c) You also insure within thirthy (30) days of the payment for those arrangements the cost of any subsequent arrangements (or any other arrangements not made through Your travel agent) added to Your Covered Trip; and
 (d) You cancel Your Covered Trip two (2) days or more before Your Scheduled Departure Date.

Cancel For Trip Delay Reasons:
A cancellation of Your Covered Trip if Your arrival on the Covered Trip is delayed and causes You to lose 30% or more of the scheduled Covered Trip duration due to a defined Hazard.

Hazard: means
(a) any delay of a Common Carrier (including Inclement Weather);
(b) any delay by a traffic accident en route to a departure, in which You or a Traveling Companion is not directly involved;
(c) any delay due to lost or stolen passports, travel documents or money, quarantine, hijacking, unannounced strike, natural disaster, civil commotion or riot;
(d) a closed sroadway causing cessation of travel to the destination of the Covered Trip (substantiated by the department of transportation, state police, etc.).

Important: If you insure an amount less than your total prepaid trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties or restriction there will be no coverage available under the Optional Cancel For Any Reason Benefit, if purchased.
