Travel Insure international health insurance for Coronavirus
The Travel Insurance Select plan does not have a specific Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption peril tied to a CDC Warning. Therefore, the main eligible coverages would be:
A person traveling in an affected country who becomes ill, in which case emergency medical expense or emergency medical evacuation coverage may apply, or
Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) – this option must be purchased as an upgrade within 21 days of your initial trip deposit/payment. Other conditions apply – see plan details.
Crum & Forster considered this to be a foreseen event on 01/23/2020.
Frequently asked questions aboutTravel Insurance Select trip plan coverage for Coronavirus
Is there any way I can get coverage in case I want to cancel in light of the evolving coronavirus outbreak?
Yes, our recommended approach is to get the Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade on your plan. If you select this upgrade, you can cancel your trip for literally any reason at all (including fear of the virus or general uncertainty). See the questions below to understand how CFAR works.
My trip got postponed and I will be traveling on later trip dates. Can I upgrade my coverage now to include Cancel For Any Reason when transferring trip dates?
No, CFAR can only be added at the initial plan purchase, and must be done within the time-sensitive period (within 21 days of initial trip deposit – review your plan document for specifics).
What is the cancellation process for Cancel For Any Reason?
You must cancel the trip 48 hours or more prior to your scheduled departure date.
You will only receive 75% of what is not refunded to you by the tour operator at time of cancellation.
Will the trip cancellation benefit cover trips canceled solely due to fear of coronavirus?
If cancellation is done by traveler solely due to fear of coronavirus, then no claim will be paid. Having fear of the possibilities is not a covered reason in travel insurance plans.
