Trip Cancellation & Interruption Coverage

Vacations can be major investments. They can also be risky investments. Blizzards can force flight cancellations, medical emergencies can postpone departure dates and connections can be missed. With so many potential complications, it’s nice to know you can protect your investment.

GMS TravelStar® Trip Cancellation & Interruption coverage helps you feel safe even before you start your trip. In the event that your trip is cancelled before your departure, you'll be covered for items such as non-refundable airfare, pre-paid travel arrangements and any cancellation penalties. In the event your trip is interrupted after departure, you'll be covered for items like transportation to rejoin tour groups or the cost of out-of-pocket expenses during longer delays (such as meals, accommodations, telephone calls and taxi fares).

Plus, you can increase your protection by adding the Trip Delay Upgrade and/or adding Baggage Loss, Damage & Delay coverage for your personal belongings.

Don't forget you can SAVE 10% on Trip Cancellation & Interruption coverage when you bundle it with emergency medical coverage.
