Travel Insurance


You have planned and invested in your trip.
Travel Insurance can protect that investment!

Southwind Adventures recommends Travel Insured International (TII) which offers coverage options at a good value. You can purchase coverage with any insurance provider of your choice. We do require that you notify our office indicating your decision about insurance.

We strongly encourage having a policy that includes a trip cancellation benefit for peace of mind in case of an unexpected illness, injury or natural disaster prior to travel such as hurricanes, wildfire, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes (according to terms outlined in your specific plan). Missed connections, delayed arrival, lost/delayed baggage or needing medical attention or evacuation are also reasons why coverage is important. Most plans allow you to customize your protection with optional add-on coverage according to your goals and budget.

Who is eligible for travel insurance? Any United States resident can purchase a Travel Insured travel protection plan when departing from and returning to the United States. There is no minimum age requirement or maximum age restriction. Some benefits or optional upgrades may not be available to travelers of all ages. To better understand how this applies to you, start by creating a quote on the Travel Insured International website to see your potential plan cost and which features are available based on the criteria you input.

For travelers living and departing from a city outside the US, we recommend purchasing travel insurance from a provider in your home country.

If you are a resident of Canada, please contact Travel Insured Canadian operations or by calling 1-855-327-6842. Travel Insured services are only available in certain provinces of Canada. If you attempt a quote on the Canadian quote screen, the second step in the process will allow you to select your province of residence from a drop down menu.

When to purchase? It is most advantageous to purchase your plan on or shortly after your date of initial deposit because your deposit begins the countdown of the 21 day period that impacts your eligibility for some time-sensitive benefits. The sooner you purchase a policy, the sooner you are covered for unexpected illness, injury or events described in your policy.

Pre-existing medical condition?
“Sickness or Injury” is a covered reason for trip cancellation and trip interruption under Travel Insured International plans. Sickness or injury resulting from a pre-existing medical condition does not apply to the coverage. However, the Pre-Existing Medical Condition Exclusion Waiver may apply to the Worldwide Trip Protector Plan. To be eligible you must:

  • Purchase your plan within 21 days of the date your initial deposit toward your trip was received.
  • Not be disabled from travel at the time your plan cost is paid based on assessment of a Physician.
  • Your coverage is effective at 12:01am the day after you purchase your plan.

Some coverage restrictions may apply depending on the terms and type of travel insurance policy you purchase, so we recommend discussing your plan and personal circumstances with your provider’s customer service.

TO PURCHASE:
Once you reserve your trip with a deposit and the Trip Reservation eForm, you will receive an eQuote from Travel Insured International to review. You can purchase a policy conveniently online from the TII eQuote, over the phone by credit card with TII directly at 855-752-8303 or from any provider of your choice.
