Cancel for any reason?

by david on November 8, 2008

Did you know you can buy travel insurance and cancel your trip safely for any reason. Or for work related reasons….or students can buy insurance for travel they can cancel for any reason. Not a bad idea these days when work comes first if you want to keep your job.

Survey results from the monthly newsletter to Travel Insured International’s travel selling partners, including your very own Conquest Travel Insurance, has returned overwhelmingly positive evaluations of the new policies that offer these options. These are the “best seller” products that most folks who go on cruises and other types of trips purchase. The Worldwide Trip protector is the policy we most often sell. It’s a comprehensive product that many travel insurance companies offer a variation of.  As with other companies, you have to specify you want the features, but it’s really good to know they are available.

There are lots of good travel insurance companies out there, but as we stated in a previous post, we like Travel Insured International because of the people who work there. When I found out the employees volunteer for community activities such as Relay for Life and to help fight Cystic Fibroses and Arthritis, then I knew anyone I recommended to them would be dealing with “good people”. I already know they offer very competitive prices because I spend my own money with them.

I like to go a couple of times a year on golf related cruises. I have both rented clubs and taken my own clubs. One thing I try to never go without is trip travel insurance, trip cancellation insurance, and golf travel insurance. I’ve played five different courses in Hawaii, and also love Cozumel Country club, including the Iguanas.

Here’s the results of that survey:

A solid 88.4% of more than 50 responding agents said they rated the new program either “good” or “outstanding” with the expectation that the plans will increase their trip protection sales. New features and options in the plans proved most popular, with 86% of respondents saying “Kids are Free” will increase or “strongly impact” sales; 76% saying the “Cancel for Work Reasons” option will build sales and 68.6% saying the “Cancel for Any Reason” option will build sales. In similar results, 86.3% of surveyed agents said the redesigned, signature Worldwide Trip Protector plan will “sell well” or be a “best seller”, while 77.6% said the same about Trip Protector Lite & Lite Expanded, and 67.3% said the same about Worldwide Trip Protector old. Agents gave a top score of 98% for either “good” or “excellent” in evaluating how well-informed and helpful Travel Insured International sales and customer service people are in presenting the new WTP program.

Yes, I take my own clubs and I take my own golf travel insurance.
