The Travel Protection Plan protects you in several ways. If your flight is delayed 3 hours or more, you can take a later flight and you will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $500 for your Additional Transportation Cost to join your Trip and for the cost of any unused land or water Travel Arrangements. See Plan Documents for full details. 

You will also be reimbursed up to $150 per day to a maximum of $1,000 for any additional accommodation and travel expense if you incur a delay of 12 hours or more for a covered reason during your Trip.  See Plan Documents for full details. 

 

 

“Pre-Existing Condition” means:  an illness, disease, or other condition during the 60 day period immediately prior to the date Your coverage is effective for which You or Your Traveling Companion, Business Partner or Family Member scheduled or booked to travel with You: (1) received or received a recommendation for a test, examination, or medical treatment for a condition which first manifested itself, worsened or became acute or had symptoms which would have prompted a reasonable person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment; or (2) took or received a prescription for drugs or medicine. Exception: #2 shown above does not apply to a condition which is treated or controlled solely through the taking of prescription drugs or medicine and remains treated or controlled without any adjustment or change in the required prescription throughout the 60 day period before coverage is effective under this Plan.

IMPORTANT! - The policy exclusion for Pre-Existing Conditions will be waived if the payment for the plan is received by CIE Tours within 7 days of the initial deposit/payment for your Trip, provided you are not disabled from travel at the time your plan payment is received.

 

 

Fortunately, passports and visas can often be replaced in a very short period of time.  Sometimes as quickly as 24 hours.  There are a number of passport service agencies who can provide this expedited service for you.  Click here for a passport service agency.
