Absolutely! Encountering the unexpected is an inherent part of any adventure, and these surprises can vary significantly in their impact, from minor inconveniences to serious emergencies. Whether you face a frustrating flight delay, a sudden cancellation due to illness, or even a critical medical situation, being prepared is essential. Although our cancellation policy is among the most accommodating in the industry, there are still many scenarios where tours may not be refundable by the tour operator. In such cases, having Trip Protection can be a lifesaver, as it provides reimbursement options. We highly recommend that every traveler invest in a Trip Protection plan, and Travelex offers a range of comprehensive travel protection plans that include 24-hour Travel Assistance, ensuring you have support whenever you need it.
