4. I'm traveling with a friend. Am I covered if my friend cancels their trip?

A "Traveling Companion" means a person or persons with whom the Insured has coordinated travel and intends to travel with during the Trip. A group or tour leader is not considered a Traveling Companion, unless the Insured is sharing room accommodations with the group or tour leader.

If your Traveling Companion, as defined, cancels his or her Trip for a reason covered under the Trip Cancellation benefit and you decide not to take your Trip, your prepaid, non-refundable travel arrangements may be covered.

See the VacationInsure plan document for complete details about this benefit.

If you purchase your plan within 14 days of the date your initial payment or deposit for your trip is received (21 days for the Plus plan) and you are not disabled from travel at the time your plan cost is paid, the Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Exclusion is waived. For a complete explanation of the Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Exclusion waiver, please review the plan document for your state of residence.
