Trip Insurance

You’ve been looking forward to your vacation for a long time and now you’re ready to make plans. We strongly suggest the purchase of travel insurance to protect yourselves and your vacation investment.

Access America Vacation Protector provides protection against the loss of your vacation deposit or payments if unforeseen circumstances cause you to cancel or postpone your trip.

Why Vacation Protector?

Think about the possibility of not being able to go on vacation, or having to cut your trip short for some reason. It’s not a pleasant thought but neither is putting a significant amount of money in jeopardy. Access America’s Vacation Protector has been specifically designed to protect most travel-related losses, stepping in where other insurance benefits leave off.

When you purchase Vacation Protector, your vacation deposit and nonrefundable fees are protected if your trip is canceled, interrupted or postponed for a covered reason. You and your traveling companions will also be covered for travel delays, baggage delays, and baggage theft and damage as well as emergency medical situations.*

Here are a few examples:**

• Your spouse becomes ill a few days before departure and you must cancel the trip.
• A member of your family back home passes away while you are away forcing you to cut your trip short.
• You lose your job shortly before departure and must cancel your trip.
• You arrive by air but your bags do not.
