Travel Protection Insurance
Why Should I Consider Purchasing Travel Insurance?
Family Rosary, USA, has partnered with Travel Leaders as our third-party travel insurance professional. Although purchasing travel insurance is optional, it is strongly recommended. Please note that cancellation will be handled completely through the travel insurance policy.
As with any type of insurance, the cost of the policy will depend on the level of coverage you choose. A policy with a higher level of coverage will be more expensive, while one with a lower level of coverage will cost less.
Can I Buy Travel Insurance Later?
While it is possible to purchase travel insurance later, we advise securing it as soon as possible after completing your registration. Purchasing insurance early will ensure you get the best rates and coverage options. Keep in mind that some benefits, such as coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, are time-sensitive and must be purchased within 14 days of making your pilgrimage payment.
