HOW TO LEARN ABOUT OR BUY TRAVEL GUARD INSURANCE

STEP 1

Review the policy summaries in the table below to learn what each  policy covers.  Then Click on the Policy link to the left of any summary to read the Full Coverage description on Travel Guard's website.  Please also carefully review the D.O.C. (the actual certificate of insurance) of each before buying your policy.   

STEP 2

Carefully check Travel Guard's Strike List to see if any airlines you are considering are listed there. Travel Guard keeps abreast of what is going on in the volatile travel industry, and their policies MAY NOT cover your airline IF one of the airline unions listed goes out on strike.   If your airline is not on the list you will be covered.  Keep in mind that coverage is only curtailed if the specific union listed strikes the airline on the days that you are traveling.   If you weigh the chances of a strike happening and determine that it is small, you might want to go ahead and buy the policy anyway.
