Vacation 'insurance'

[michygoomy]

Am I a dope here?

I booked my trip on-line and was really pleased with the price. Well, I was very nervous while booking it, and somewhere along the way I must have forgot to click off the 'vacation insurance' or whatever it is called. I noticed when I got my confirmation in the mail.

What the heck is this anyway? Is it worth $70? Is there any way to cancel it? If I cancel it, will I curse my trip?

I admit--I was happy (estatic, really) with the price I got not even realizing that it was 70 bucks cheaper.


First time poster here! TIA!

Here is the phone number to the insurance company that is used for the FTP, I am not sure if that is what you booked...1-800-826-3899. Just call and ask them all that is covered. I had the insurance in mind, but once I found out that loss of a job was not covered ( I would have to present it as an "unforseen circumstance" and the ins. co. would decide if it was covered or not AFTER the fact ) I decided against it. I think you may be able to cancel the ins. if you are still 45 days out from your trip, but not sure. Hope this helps.

Here is a link to another thread that was running on this subject, and no you cannot cancel it once you've asked for it. You can, however, opt out of it when making your reservation, and then pick it up later on. ~~

Thanks for the quick responses! I'll keep it. It's not that expensive.
