Insurance
AIG Travel Guard- This company offers 2 different policies that allow you to add a Cancel for Any Reason upgrade at a 50% and 75% reimbursement level if the insured does indeed cancel for a non-covered reason like an outbreak.
​
The CFAR upgrade must be purchased within 15 days of deposit AND it must be selected at the same time the base plan (Preferred or Deluxe in this case) is purchased. Also, anyone with the CFAR upgrade who wishes to use the coverage must cancel their trip at least 48 hours prior to the departure date.
