Trip Saver coverage provides reimbursement for extra expenses that come along with moving your departure date earlier to avoid Common Carrier cancellations. If a snowstorm is headed towards your departure location, and your airline is cancelling flights, you may have coverage to move your flight earlier to avoid the snowstorm and get to your vacation.

Work directly with your travel supplier to secure your new departure date or departure location that will work best for your trip. Be sure to keep documentation of the reason for changing your departure as well as any costs associated with the change – like additional ticket costs or change fees. Once you are home, you can submit the necessary documentation to Travel Guard to request to be reimbursed for those costs. If you need help making changes to your travel arrangements, our emergency travel assistance team can help, give them a call at 800.826.5248.*

You are going on a trip to the Bahamas to escape the winter weather and plan on leaving from the airport closest to your home. The day before you plan to leave, you find out a blizzard is heading to your area. You receive a notification from your airline that they are canceling all flights from your originally scheduled airport for tomorrow when the storm is expected to be at its worst. The airline offers to move your flight to this afternoon, so you can beat the storm and get to your sunny vacation. 
 
In this scenario, because the Common Carrier (your airline) was cancelling flights due to Inclement Weather, and you were able to secure an earlier departure date in order to avoid cancelling your entire vacation – Travel Guard’s Trip Saver coverage may help cover those extra costs associated with flying out a day early. You may have had additional ticket costs, a change fee and even an extra night in a hotel at your destination. With Travel Guard, you can file a claim to request to be reimbursed for those extra costs. Remember to read your travel insurance plan’s complete terms and conditions before booking to help ensure you choose the coverages you need. All claims under Travel Guard travel insurance plans must be reviewed by the appropriate claims personnel.
