Vacation Protection for Contracted Groups

*GPP and GPP+ are available year-round; however, some holiday departures [including December 16-31], peak travel dates [depending on departure city and date] and higher priced room categories or hotels may incur a surcharge of $40-$70 per adult and $20-$30 per child 12 and under. In some cases, such as with Incentive Groups and non-refundable hotel rates, those plans may not be offered and VPI is offered as an alternative. Pricing is subject to change without prior notice.

Supplemental Upgrades

For travelers seeking higher limits, consider purchasing GPP or GPP+ with a Supplemental Upgrade. Each of these plans provides the same benefits with the upgrade of coverage limits; $2,000 Trip Delay and $50,000 Emergency Medical Expense/Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains. Add $20 per person to the pricing listed above. The supplement for GPP can be added to your insurance plan within 7 days of providing names and no later than final payment due date, whichever occurs first. The supplement for GPP+ can be added to your insurance plan within 7 days of providing names and no later than 90 days prior to departure, whichever occurs first.

GPP is available for groups with a maximum of 45 rooms. You can cancel your vacation for any reason and receive a refund in the form of a future travel certificate. GPP must be added to your booking within 7 days of providing names and no later than final payment due date, whichever occurs first. This plan is not available with non-refundable hotel rates. Once purchased, your plan cost is non-refundable. Should some guests within a group choose to add GPP and some choose to add GPP+, the combined maximum total number of rooms for coverage is 45.

Cancellations: You can cancel for any reason a minimum of 2 hours prior to original scheduled departure time as indicated in your travel documents or no later than 9AM local time of the hotel the day of arrival for hotel-only bookings.

Airline cancellation, change or rebooking fees may apply. A one-time VE change fee will be waived per person with GPP.

• The vouchers are non-transferable and name changes will not be accepted.
