Is this worth the money???

[Leslie32]

My AAA agent said that insurance is 44.00 per adult so it would be 88.00 added to my pkg I got thru them. She said it only covers cancellation in case theres a death in the family, your sick or something to that nature and you have to cancel at the last minute. I have to be paid in full 45 days before I go on my trip. Is 88.00 worth it? I don't know what AAA cancel policy is if you book through them. What do you all think??

I would get in writing what it covers, most do not cover illness's but things
more life or death.
I could be wrong , but doublecheck and if you think you might have a problem by all means get it.

when they say it covers illness they dont mean a cold you have to be dieing and have a doctors note to prove it . we went through this a few years ago not in disney but on a trip to jaimaica we could not get our money back but they did let us pospone the trip for up to a year for a small fee.

I would personally never pay for the insurance. If you every actually needed to collect the insurance they would make it very difficult for you to collect. Basically it's a way for the travel agent or agency to make extra $$. Rental Car companies do the same kind of thing. If it gives you peace of mind and you can afford it then do it, but believe me when I tell you that AAA will find some excuse to not pay up if you ever had to actually collect it.

I skipped it when I travel.

You're absolutely right about this. Most of the profit for the insurance sales go directly to the travel agency/agent. That, in my opinion, is why they push so hard for you to get it.
