Remember, travel insurance is designed to help protect you against unforeseen events, which means it is meant to be bought before a covered event, such as a tropical storm, occurs. Losses resulting from storms are not covered once a storm is named. However, our plans continue to provide excellent coverage and assistance services for those able to continue on their scheduled travel plans.
Free Look Period
If you purchased one of our plans for coverage for a tropical storm after the storm’s cutoff date and you are not happy with your insurance purchase, you may want to take advantage of our free look period, in which you may cancel your plan for a full refund if it doesn’t suit your needs. For most states of residence, you may cancel your plan within 10 days from the time of purchase. If you live in Indiana, the free look period gives you 30 days to decide if your plan is right for you. Keep in mind, you can only cancel your plan within the free look period of 10 days as long as you have not filed a claim, or left on your trip. Please email csa@csatravelprotection.com in order to cancel your plan.
