Protect Your Trip

While evert effort is made to ensure that your vacation is a safe and happy one, unexpected things can happen. We strongly recommend travel insurance to allow you peace of mind whilst enjoying your adventures! Protect your trip investment and your wellbeing while traveling with Alumni Travel Protect plans by our trusted partners at AMBA! 

A good travel insurance plan provides invaluable peace of mind and protection from these common travel events:

Trip cancellation or interruptions. Protect your investment in case you need to cancel or cut your trip short for any covered reason. Without insurance, you could be left with nonrefundable flights, hotel bookings, and tour costs. For everything else, we recommend an optional benefit in our enhanced plan, Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR). The CFAR waiver will pay 70% of your prepaid, nonrefundable trip payments/deposits if your trip is canceled for any reason not otherwise covered by the plan.

Accidents, illness, and other medical emergencies. Ideally, these kinds of events won’t interrupt your trip, but it’s important to be prepared in case they happen. Plus, your health insurance likely won’t work overseas, and many foreign medical facilities require cash payment upfront.

Flight delays and missed connections. Weather, technical issues, and other unforeseen delays can throw off your travel plans. With insurance, you may be eligible for compensation for accommodations, meals, and even rebooking fees if your flight is delayed or canceled.

Lost luggage. Traveling means putting your belongings in the hands of airlines and other transportation services. If your luggage is delayed or lost, travel insurance can cover the cost of purchasing essentials until your items are returned. It can also reimburse you for the value of lost belongings.

Alumni Travel Protect plans are designed to provide you with a comprehensive selection of benefits and services that will protect your vacation investment and meet the needs of every kind of trip and traveler. Visit our website or speak with a plan administrator directly at (517) 550-5505.
