Yes. Although it is not a requirement to book a trip, we strongly recommend that you purchase a travel insurance plan with a “Cancel for Any Reason” option. With how far in advance these trips are booked, guests may have last minute injuries, emergencies, or life changes prior to their trip and wish they had a way to recoup their lost expenses.
Most providers that offer a “Cancel for Any Reason” option require that guests purchase their policies within a few weeks of booking. Be sure to look into these options immediately after paying the deposit for your trip.
Hatch does not have recommendations for specific insurers or policies. You might check with any organizations you are already part of (credit card, AAA, veteran’s groups, etc.) or there are travel insurance policy comparison websites.
