Why buy Travel Protection?

What if...
  • You, your family or even your travel companions, become sick or injured and prevent you from traveling.
  • You arrive at your destination and your luggage is lost or damaged.
  • You are injured during your trip and need to be medically evacuated.

At Daman Nelson Travel, we understand the value of your vacation investment and strongly recommend the purchase of the Daman Nelson Travel Protection Plan to safeguard and enhance your experience. As a convenience we include the cost of our travel protection plan on your invoice. To purchase, simply pay the invoice total.

Q. Why should I purchase the Daman Nelson Travel Protection Program?

A. Preparing for your trip includes helping to protect yourself in the event of an unfortunate occurrence that interferes with even your best laid plans.

By purchasing the Daman Nelson Travel Protection Program, you can help protect yourself against cancellation penalties, medical costs, baggage loss and delay and gain access to a wide range of traveler's assistance services.

The Daman Nelson Travel Protection Program would provide coverage if:

  • A closed roadway causes cessation of travel to your ski destination
  • You become sick and can't travel.
  • Someone in your immediate family develops an illness, even if they aren't scheduled to travel with you.
  • Your house becomes flooded due to a hurricane.
  • An Immediate family member back home passes away and you must return from your travels early.

  • You twist your ankle and must visit a doctor while traveling.

At Daman Nelson, we offer a plan designed for the specific needs of our passengers, including benefits designed for winter ski travel. You will be provided a full description of benefits, conditions, limitations and exclusions once the plan is purchased.

Q. Will my current home, renters, credit card or health insurance policies cover my trip?

A. Other policies may not offer insurance protection while you travel due to benefit limits, territory restrictions and deductibles. Most people do not have any insurance coverage at all if they must cancel their trip. The Daman Nelson Travel Protection Plan has a wide range of travel benefits which credit card, homeowners and renters insurance policies may not offer. The accident medical benefit included in the program is valuable for people whose health insurance policies (Medicare & HMO) do not pay for out of network medical expenses.

They are equipped to respond to many unexpected circumstances, such as providing potentially costly air ambulance transportation in medical emergencies.

A. For your convenience we include the cost of Travel Protection on your trip invoice. Simply pay the invoice total and you will be provided the security of the Daman Nelson Travel Protection Plan.

The Plan will remain in effect until your scheduled return date, or when you return home, whichever is earlier. Please see the Description of Benefits for detailed information.
