Travel Insurance Options Designed to Protect You

With identity theft, medical coverage and medical information acess among top concerns of travelers, CSA Travel Protection includes solutions for all three in its travel insurance plans.

In addition to providing the travel insurance industry's first and only identity theft coverage, the new plans make it easier for travelers to obtain coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and the financial default of any travel supplier on their trip.

Two plans automatically refund the insurance premium to travelers who cancel their trip for any reason, covered or not. These plans also provide CSA's highest benefit levels for medical expenses and evacuation at $250,000 to $1 million.

The new features and benefits are included with the CSA Comfort Plan, CSA Luxe Plan, CSA Freestyle and CSA Freestyle Luxe. All plans are available from travel agents and on the Internet. Because the Freestyle plans are Web-based, their low prices beat the competition more than 70 percent of the time.

Each new CSA plan offers travelers the following reasons to feel more secure before, during and after their vacations:

• Identity Theft Protection Services for Six Months Policyholders who suspect their identity has been compromised can call CSA toll-free or collect. Trained anti-fraud experts will help guide them through the steps necessary for restoring their credit profile.
  

• More Time to Decide
  Travelers now have up to the final payment of the trip to decide if they want coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and supplier financial default.
  

• 24-Hour Nurse Help Line
  Travelers who need medical advice before or during their trip can consult with a registered nurse anytime with a free phone call from anywhere in the world. They also can be referred to qualified medical facilities worldwide through CSA's included 24-Hour Emergency Assistance Services.

The CSA Luxe and Freestyle Luxe plans add the following greater benefits to give travelers ultimate peace of mind:

• CSA's highest benefit levels for medical expenses/evacuation are $250,000 to $1 million
  

• Automatic refund of insurance premium if the buyer cancels a trip for any reason, covered or not (when insurance purchased before final trip payment)

"In other words, if you don't travel, your insurance costs are refunded. Period. No questions asked," said Les Maine, Chairman and President of CSA Travel Protection. "We feel our customers shouldn't have to pay for insurance if they can't go on their trip.

"We've also eliminated the artificial 'within 14 days of initial trip deposit' restriction on pre-ex and supplier default, allowing consumers to buy full coverage up to final trip payment, the most natural time to buy travel insurance."
