Travel Protection Plans

Important Note: Our travel protection plans cover cancellations related to COVID-19, including government imposed travel bans or other travel restrictions. We highly recommend a travel protection plan for such conditions.

Travel protection is available with Cancel-For-Any-Reason (CFAR) features for cancellation or changes made prior to vacation departure. These plans, which must be purchased at time of booking, include a non-insurance Cancellation Fee Waiver provided by Pleasant Holidays. Travel Protection Plan payments are not refundable except as provided in the plan documents. Travel Protection Plans cannot be purchased with a Future Travel Credit (FTC). Pleasant Holidays offers two options for the waiver:

• Cancel for Any Reason – Future Travel Credit (FTC): for this more affordable option, compensation is paid in the form of credit for future travel with Journese, valid for one year from date of issue, less the cost of the travel protection plan
• Cancel for Any Reason - Cash Back: refunds in the original form of payment (cash, check or credit card), less the cost of the travel protection plan

These extensive travel protection plans, which must be purchased at time of booking, offer insurance benefits underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company, non-insurance assistance services provided by Generali Global Assistance, and a non-insurance cancellation fee waiver provided by Pleasant Holidays (should travelers need to change or cancel their trip purchased through Pleasant Holidays prior to departure for any reason). Plans are designed to meet travelers’ needs at an affordable price.

CANCELATION OR CHANGE FEE WAIVER FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Cancel/Change for Any Reason - FTC: You receive reimbursement in Pleasant Holidays travel credit for future travel for all unused non-refundable Pleasant Holidays travel arrangements if you cancel or change your trip prior to departure.
• Cancel/Change for Any Reason - Cash Back: You receive reimbursement in cash/original form of payment for all unused non-refundable Pleasant Holidays travel arrangements if you must cancel or change your trip prior to departure.
• Any remaining balance on the reservation will be refunded in cash or by credit card.

Pleasant Holidays requires written notice of cancellation. This only refunds those Travel Arrangements purchased from Pleasant Holidays and refunds cannot exceed $10,000 per person. The Pleasant Holidays Cruise Vacation Protection Plan Plus provides coverage for cruise vacation packages.

Pleasant Holidays’ Future Travel Credits (FTC) are issued in the names of the passengers in the original reservations and are non-refundable, non-transferrable, valid for travel within one year from date of issue and may not be redeemed for cash.

POST-DEPARTURE TRAVEL PROTECTION BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• Trip Interruption can reimburse expenses for unused non-refundable land travel arrangements, plus additional transportation costs paid, if you interrupt your trip for a covered reason (subject to a maximum benefit amount that is the lesser of your Trip Cost or $10,000 per person).
• Pre-Existing Medical Condition Exclusion Waiver when plan is purchased with your initial deposit/payment for your trip, provided you are not already disabled from travel at time of purchase.
• $25,000 Accident & Sickness Medical Expense Benefit can cover medical expenses incurred during your trip (including up to $750 for emergency dental expenses).*
• $50,000 Emergency Medical Evacuation, Medical Repatriation and Return of Remains Coverage.*
