TRAVEL INSURANCE
Protect yourself, your family, your budget, and most of all, protect your trip! There are a thousand situations that could be listed for why to buy travel insurance, but the best reason is simply because the majority of travel services purchased are non-refundable, and there are no loopholes to hope to engage to receive any refunds. This is a very important step in planning your vacation. Insurance covers cancellation of your trip due to unexpected illness, unforeseen weather issues, emergencies, change of plans, loss of job, or almost any other incident. You should always consider purchasing some sort of cancellation/interruption insurance within 7-14 days of booking your trip to get the most coverage possible. There are insurance packages for just about everyone and every kind of trip such as: cancel for any reason, transportation, adventure, athlete, student, family, and professional. Your best resource is your Dolphin Vacations travel agent. They can help you decide which insurance package is best for your trip.
