PROTECTING YOUR TRAVEL  

Your trip investment is worth protecting to safeguard against unexpected events that can prevent you from traveling and being assessed significant cancellation fees. We have two options: the Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP) or the Travelex 360 Group Insurance Plan. You can choose one or the other. They are not required for travel, but optional  

   

-CANCELLATION PROTECTION PLAN (CPP) - MOTORCOACH TOURS ONLY  

Cancellation protection is not insurance but a simple plan to protect you from losing   funds if you must cancel for a covered reason. If you cancel for a covered reason, prior to departure, you will be reimbursed for the amount you paid for your trip. This covers cancellation only. No coverages apply after the tour starts.  

   

-TRAVELEX 360 GROUP INSURANCE PLAN  

The 360° Group Choice protection plan is insurance. Enjoy trip cancellation &  interruption benefits, emergency medical coverage, along with 24/7 travel assistance & concierge services.  

   

The enrollment form & payment needs to be completed BEFORE or AT THE TIME of final payment. Customers are NOT allowed to enroll after the final payment has been made. For complete plan information, please contact Allied or your local travel advisor.  

   

FINAL DOCUMENTS  

Travelers now have the option to request digital documents, which will be sent via email 7-10 days earlier than physical the copies. If you opt for digital delivery when booking, you’ll receive a detailed itinerary, departure times and locations, hotel lists, medical forms, and other important information sooner, ensuring you're well-prepared for your trip.
