Travel Guard’s Trip Exchange coverage makes changing your travel plans easier. If you need to change your travel dates for your trip (because of a covered reason on your travel insurance plan), instead of jumping through the hoops of canceling your trip just to turn around and rebook it – Trip Exchange provides coverage to help reimburse the costs associated with changing your travel dates. Expenses like increases in cost and cancellation fees can be claimed under your Trip Exchange benefit. Coordinating travel can be hectic, but with Trip Exchange, you’ll have even more peace of mind knowing you have the flexibility you need.

Work directly with your Travel Suppliers, such as the airline or cruise you originally booked with, to reschedule your trip. If there are cancellation penalties, change fees or cost increases, you can submit the required documentation to Travel Guard to seek reimbursement for those costs if you had to cancel your original trip for a covered reason. Additionally, the cost you paid for your travel insurance plan can be reimbursed under this benefit to purchase a new travel insurance plan for the rescheduled trip as your original travel insurance plan will not cover the rescheduled trip.

You and your partner have been planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Paris filled with wine tastings, walking tours of the city and a sunset cruise on the Seine River. Two weeks before your trip, your partner gets injured at work, and their doctor says they can’t travel for eight weeks. You’ve been dreaming of this trip and don’t want to completely cancel all your plans, so you work with your Travel Suppliers to adjust your travel dates for a future date when your partner can travel.

In this scenario, you’re rescheduling because a covered traveler’s Injury is certified by their Physician to prevent travel, which could be a covered reason under Travel Guard’s Trip Exchange . You can reschedule your flights, transportation and other reservations for your new travel dates. You can then claim those extra expenses and fees with Travel Guard and request to be reimbursed for those costs. Remember to read your travel insurance plan’s complete terms and conditions before booking to help ensure you have the coverages you may need. All claims under Travel Guard travel insurance plans must be reviewed by the appropriate claims personnel.
