The easy, affordable way to
protect your vacation investment! Missing a vacation
is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for
your vacation is even worse. The Grand Circle Passenger Travel Protection Program is your
ticket to worry-free travel. Now you can protect
your travel investment at a very affordable group
rate -- take the peace of mind with you when
you travel.
When you purchase this travel protection plan, you also receive the Grand Circle Travel Cancellation Waiver Benefit that allows you to cancel your Grand Circle Travel arrangements before your scheduled departure for ANY REASON. Under the Cancel For Any Reason Waiver, your cancellation penalty will be refunded in Grand Circle Travel Vouchers (valid for travel within 12 months of the date of issue, but no later than 15 months from the date your trip was canceled), with the balance of the refund made, if applicable, either in cash or credit card credit. Please Note: 1) The Grand Circle Travel Cancellation Waiver does not cover penalties associated with air or other travel arrangements not provided by Grand Circle Travel, and 2) the Grand Circle Travel Cancellation Waiver Benefit does not apply to or cover ocean cruise arrangements, and Grand Circle Travel Vouchers may not be used to book or otherwise pay for ocean cruise arrangements. Any benefit payable under this Cancellation Waiver will be reduced by the amount of any cancellation benefits paid or payable by the Grand Circle Travel Protection Plan or any other insurance plan providing Trip Cancellation benefits.
The Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion is waived provided you meet the following requirements: 1) the plan payment for the coverage is received by Grand Circle Travel within 14 days of the initial deposit/payment for your Trip and 2) you are not disabled from travel at the time you pay your plan payment. Note: Day 1 is the day after the day your initial deposit/payment is received.

If your Trip is Canceled or Interrupted, Your Travel Investment is Protected
If you are like a lot of people these days, you don't just look forward to your vacations, you need them. A vacation is your opportunity to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries. Or to catch up with friends and family. Unfortunately, many things happen that might cause you to cancel your travel plans or cut them short. Illness or injury. The death of a family member. The worst part is, without adequate protection, you can lose your vacation and your money, as well. The Grand Circle Travel Passenger Travel Protection Program protects your travel investment if your trip is canceled or interrupted for a covered reason such as injury, illness or death of you, an immediate family member, or a traveling companion or business partner.
If you must interrupt your trip or return home early for a covered reason, the plan will pay (up to the original cost of your trip) for your unused land or cruise arrangements, less any refund paid or payable, plus the additional air expense to return home or rejoin your trip.
The plan will also pay the additional cost for a change in the per person occupancy rate if a traveling companion's trip is canceled and your trip continues.
Travel Delayed? You're OK!
You’ll be reimbursed up to $150 per day to a maximum of $750 total for meals and accommodations if your trip
is delayed for more than 12 hours for a covered reason.
Medical Expense and Emergency Assistance Benefits Could Be a Real Lifesaver!
If you have a serious illness
or injury, the last thing you want to worry about
is getting the care you need. The Grand Circle Travel Passenger Travel Protection Program gives you
peace of mind with benefits that cover, up to
the plan's limits, everything from medical expenses
(incurred within 30 days of a sickness or injury
that began during your trip) to special transportation
(such as an air ambulance) required for medical
reasons.
Baggage Lost or Damaged? You're Protected!
It’s a traveler’s nightmare. You
arrive at your destination, but your baggage has disappeared. Or has
been stolen or damaged. What do you do? If you’re protected by the Grand Circle Travel Passenger Travel Protection Program, you’ll be reimbursed up to $1,500 to replace
or repair your lost or damaged luggage and personal articles.
