Cancel for Any Reason Unforeseen circumstances can occur in our daily lives at any time. Sometimes, these situations are not covered by standard travel insurance programs. The loss of a pet...the threat of rain...a change in work schedule...or maybe a relationship goes sour and you just don't want to take that trip anymore. Situations like these might otherwise cause you to lose your vacation investment, but not if you are protected with the "Cancel For Any Reason" option. As long as you are within 14, 15, 21, or 30 days (depending on the provider and plan chosen) of the date you put your first deposit down on your trip, you insure the total pre-paid non-refundable cost of your trip (and also insure the cost of any additional arrangements within 14, 15, 21, or 30 days of those payments), you are eligible to purchase a "Cancel For Any Reason" option and the feeling of being in the driver's seat with your vacation plans. To utilize this benefit, simply cancel your trip and notify the provider two or more days before your scheduled trip departure date. Below are the plans that offer the "Cancel For Any Reason" option.
