What do you do when you've already purchased a travel protection plan but end up having more costs to add to your trip?
WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS
- A traveler purchases travel protection (insuring only the pre-paid, non-refundable costs)
- They end up pre-paying for more non-refundable parts of the trip
- The traveler needs to add these additional trip costs to the existing plan
HOW TO ADD TRIP COSTS
You've already purchased a travel protection plan, but not you have more trip costs you'd like to include in the plan.
- Calculate the additional pre-paid, non-refundable trip costs you need to include.
- Log into your Travel Insured account to add the additional trip costs, or give us a call. You should do so as soon as possible to remain eligible for time-sensitive benefits.
- Your plan cost may go up, depending on how much trip cost is added. Have your card number ready just in case.
- You can now go on your trip knowing your full trip cost is insured!
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Insuring additional trip costs is important because if you were to file a claim, you will only be eligible for potential reimbursement of the costs you insured.
For example, if you purchased a plan with a trip costs of $1,000 to Ireland, but then a few days later decided to go to Scotland too for an additional $1,000, you'd need to insure the full $2,000. Otherwise, you'd only be eligible to get up to $1,000 potentially reimbursed if you are forced to cancel your trip.
