TRAVEL INSURANCE - Great Escapes is licensed and trained to offer insurance that safeguards your vacation investment. Life can be unpredictable, and many aspects, if not all, of your planned vacation may be non-refundable. We strongly recommend acquiring an insurance policy for all your travel and vacation arrangements. Policies and rates differ, but they typically provide coverage for trip cancellation or interruption (basic policies cover these events for specific reasons, while other policies cover cancellation or interruption for any reason), some compensation for lost or damaged luggage and trip delays, emergency medical and dental coverage, and in extreme situations, emergency evacuation. We will present options and coverage details before you finalize your travel arrangements.
