How to Get Your Money Back if You Bought the Wrong Travel Insurance Policy, says Squaremouth
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel insurance may be a smart investment for travelers, but depending on the policy, it can also be a significant additional cost. Fortunately for those who have second thoughts about their policy, most come with a Money Back Guarantee period. Squaremouth, America's fastest growing travel insurance comparison site, explains how travelers can get their money back if they change their mind about an insurance policy.
Money Back Guarantee: How it Works
90% of travel insurance policies on squaremouth.com come with a Money Back Guarantee or "free look period", during which a traveler can decide whether or not the policy they purchased is right for them. This time frame typically lasts up to 14 days following the purchase date, or until the traveler starts their trip, whichever is sooner. Some policies, however, allow the traveler to cancel their policy up until their departure date.
The Money Back Guarantee comes at no additional expense. During this window, most providers offer 100% reimbursement, however some hold back a cancellation or administration fee.
Money Back Guarantee: Terms by Provider
While the Money Back Guarantee is standard across most travel insurance, the terms differ by policy. To help travelers find the one that best fits their needs, Squaremouth has compiled a list of their products, organized by Money Back Guarantee timeframes.
