DVC Travel Insurance (?)

[cbeehler3]

We usually get the postcard in the mailing when our reservation booklet is sent.
I didn't keep mine and now we are rethinking getting it with all the illness goingaround our town.
Does anyone know if you can get it a week out, or who I talk to ?
I am going to call MS this morning, but thought someone here may know the answer.

Thanks!
Christie

Here's the information on Travel Insurance as posted on the member website:

Travel Insurance
Learn about coverage available for Disney Vacation Club Members.

Put your mind at ease by including travel insurance in your vacation plans. As a Disney Vacation Club Member, you can purchase travel insurance directly from Travel Guard® International. Coverage will protect you from losses on reservations using Vacation Points/Reservation Points, cash or a combination by providing cash reimbursements (not Vacation Points or Reservation Points) for specific circumstances.

The premiums for the plan are paid directly to Travel Guard International before the reservation cancellation penalty begins. For more information, call Travel Guard International directly, toll-free at (866) 690-6858† and reference Disney Vacation Club ID#007004. Members outside the United States can call collect at (715) 345-0505†.

Thank you very much!

I think there is a provision that you must purchase before the "penalty date", which I believe is 30 days.

We were able to purchase for the airfare and park passes that we have already paid for, plus and expenses incurred due to a missed flight or delay.
We knew we would miss out on points...but it was the money that was important. It was very reasonable. So glad we did it.

What does it cover? If you are sick ir have an accident (say break a foot), is that covered?

 

[Siliobear]

If I don't use DVC to book my flight, theme park admission, cruise excusions, etc., will the insurance cover that too?

I thought there used to be a link to the insurance on the dvc member website, but since they have upgraded, I can't find anything. Is there a link anymore?

 

[DebbieB]

This thread is old - 2009. DVC has since changed the insurance.

 

[blondietink]

So, who handle s the new insurance and is a link listed on the DVC website?
