Travel insurance is an important part of planning your trip with Wanderquest, especially when it comes to cancellations, refunds, and rebooking. This article will help you understand how travel insurance works, what it covers, and how it affects your booking with us.
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is a policy that protects you financially against unforeseen events that may affect your travel plans. This can include trip cancellations, interruptions, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and more. Having travel insurance can provide peace of mind and financial protection for unexpected situations.
How Does Travel Insurance Affect Cancellations and Refunds?
If you have purchased travel insurance, you may be eligible for reimbursement through the insurer for cancellations or changes due to covered reasons, such as illness, natural disasters, or other emergencies.
- Without Insurance: Refunds and cancellations are subject to Wanderquest’s cancellation policies and terms.
- With Insurance: While Wanderquest may provide refunds depending on our policies, your insurer may cover additional costs or losses. Always review your specific policy details.
What Does Travel Insurance Typically Cover?
While coverage may vary by provider and plan, common benefits include:
- Trip cancellation or interruption due to covered reasons
- Medical emergencies and evacuation
- Lost, delayed or damaged baggage and personal belongings
- Travel delays
- Emergency assistance services
Please refer to your insurance policy for exact coverage and limitations.
Purchasing Travel Insurance

How to Make an Insurance Claim

COVID-19 and Travel Insurance
Many insurance providers have updated their policies to include coverage related to COVID-19, such as trip cancellations due to illness or travel restrictions. Check your insurer’s latest terms if your trip may be affected.
