Why Purchase Travel Protection
The Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan
When you purchase this travel protection plan, you also receive the Vantage Deluxe World Travel Cancellation Waiver Benefit that allows you to cancel your Vantage arrangements before your scheduled departure for ANY REASON. Under the Cancel For Any Reason Waiver, your cancellation penalty will be refunded in Vantage Deluxe World Travel Certificates (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: These travel certificates are non-transferable and non-refundable. They may not be used to book or otherwise pay for Ocean Cruise arrangements. The Vantage Deluxe World Travel Cancellation Waiver does not cover penalties associated with air or other travel arrangements not provided by Vantage. Any benefit payable under this Cancellation Waiver will be reduced by the amount of any cancellation benefits paid or payable by the Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan or any other insurance plan providing Trip Cancellation benefits.

Why you should purchase Travel Protection
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 Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan 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 Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection 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 Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection 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.
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 Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan gives you peace of mind with benefits that cover, up to the plan's limits, everything from medical expenses (incurred within one year of a sickness or injury that began during your trip) to special transportation (such as an air ambulance) required for medical reasons.
Travel Delayed? You're OK!

If you’re protected by the Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan, you’ll be reimbursed up to $1,500 to replace or repair your lost or damaged luggage and personal articles.
Baggage Delayed? Need Clothes and Toiletries? Count on us!
