Cancel for Any Reason Travel Insurance

What is Cancel for Any Reason Travel Insurance?

Sometimes things happen between the time you booked your trip and your departure date. Important things – like your child’s soccer team unexpectedly advancing to the playoffs – are worth changing your plans. Or maybe this year the slopes are bare and you just don’t want to take that annual ski trip. Such an example is not a triggered reason for cancellation coverage under a traditional travel insurance plan.

That's where Cancel For Any Reason coverage comes in handy.

If there’s a possibility you may need to cancel your trip for a reason that's not typically covered by traditional trip cancellation insurance coverage, consider upgrading to Cancel For Any Reason coverage (CFAR).

Cancel For Any Reason Trip Insurance Gives Broad Financial Protection

With this optional reason for cancellation coverage, you can cancel your trip for absolutely any reason and be reimbursed for up to 60% of your non-refundable trip costs. For eligibility, you must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Your payment for CFAR coverage was received within 21 days of the first deposit you made on your trip;
2. You insure 100% of the cost of all travel arrangements subject to cancellation penalties; AND
3. You cancel your trip 48 hours or more before you scheduled departure date.

With Cancel for Any Reason coverage, you have more broad coverage than a standard trip cancellation insurance plan. For example, with CFAR, RoamRight will reimburse you for:

• Non-refundable cancellation charges imposed by the travel suppliers
• Airfare cancellation charges for flights commencing within one week of the land/sea arrangements
• If your travel supplier cancels your trip, you are covered up to the cost of the ticket or the reissue fee charged by the airline for the tickets. You must have covered the entire cost of the trip, including airfare
