 Cancellation Insurance

ASA provides this information AS A REFERENCE ONLY and does not endorse any specific insurance or other product. It is solely the participant's responsibility to research and understand all terms, inclusions, and exclusions of any insurance policy they choose to purchase.

 

Because ASA program fees become non-refundable before the program starts, we strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment.

 

To have the maximum level of protection against losses for trip cancellation, CFAR (Cancel for Any Reason insurance) is needed, and we do recommend purchasing this. Please be aware that CFAR must be purchased within 15 calendar days of making your initial trip payment. However, even if you miss the window for CFAR, the other coverages below such as Trip Cancellation Package, Trip Interruption, Trip Delay, etc. can still be purchased up until the day before your departure - and we strongly recommend doing so to protect your investment.
