Dear Future Untourist,
It may seem early to think about travel insurance at this stage of your trip planning, but we would like to convince you otherwise.
Every year we hear from many people who have to cancel their Untours due to completely unforeseen circumstances. Although we try to keep the cancellation fees as low as possible, the fact is that we incur significant costs that we have to pass on to our clients. If you are forced to interrupt your trip after it has begun, the total fees will usually exceed your total trip cost.
For this reason, Untours and Travel Insured have created a customized policy that covers cancellation costs as well as some other unforeseeable expenses.
If you want to take full advantage of this special customized package, it is very important that you purchase the insurance within fourteen days of paying us your Untour deposit or play another merchant for another part of your trip (whichever date is earliest). This will ensure that the policy covers you for cancellations arising from a pre-existing illness that you or a relative may have (even if that family member is not traveling with you).
There are three ways to apply for insurance:
- The easiest and preferred way is to use the online application form. Please download and review the insurance brochure listed at the bottom of this page before using the online link.
- You may print out the application form from the brochure and mail it to directly to Travel Insured as instructed.
- You may print out the application form from the brochure and fax it to the number on the application.
Please apply within fourteen days of your Untour deposit or the date of the earliest purchase for your trip that you wish to insure. (If mailing, your policy application should be postmarked within this time.) They will not be accepting phone-in policy activation.
We recommend that you purchase insurance for the full value of the Airfare Included fee listed in the catalog.
We look forward to helping you plan your upcoming trip and we sincerely hope that you never have to use this insurance!
Sincerely,
Your Untours Team
