Yes. We offer “Cancel for ANY reason” insurance with your room block. It is the only insurance that will cover COVID! It covers cancellation up to 48 hours BEFORE you travel and you get back 75% of the cost of the trip. If not, we also sell insurance that is canceled for "covered reason" ask us how!

Yes. You can always add a person to your room after your reservation has been made as long as it doesn’t go above the room occupancy limit. If you’re waiting to make a reservation because you’re not sure if someone will be with you in the room, we suggest you go ahead and secure your reservation now and then add them later.

Having travel protection is definitely important and we recommend it for everyone. We personally buy it for all our trips. However, the option to add travel insurance is solely for your convenience. Depending on the option you select it may cover trip cancellation and many other things like unexpected medical expenses, baggage, and flight delays.

There are different kinds of policies to choose from and since we are not insurance agents and therefore cannot answer questions regarding any travel insurance policies we have found that this is the easiest way to compare them.

Click here for Travel Insurance Options

You will just need to answer a few questions and you’ll receive policy options and pricing. This link will give you different plan options as well as available coverage for other areas of your trip.

This is the insurance company we personally like and suggest but you are welcome to purchase Travel Protection through any entity that you choose.

If you have additional questions, you can reach an insurance agent at 1-800-243-3174

FYI, not purchasing travel protection could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. Without the protection, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred and the price of Travel Protection IS NOT included in the price of the room selections and is non-refundable.
