What is Trip Cancellation Insurance?
Trip cancellation insurance is an option that may allow you to cancel your trip without losing the total cost of the trip. Alpine Ascents highly recommends cancellation insurance for all of our international trips and many of our domestic courses and programs. We will supply you with information upon signing up for a program. Please consult with the insurance company regarding your specific situation. I am fascinated by “The Seven Summits” and your brochure states there is a logical progression to accomplishing this feat. Where should I start if I want to climb the highest mountain on each continent? The seven summits represent both technical and non-technical ascents. Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua are both non-technical, although demanding. Kilimanjaro requires no prior climbing experience, only excellent physical condition. Aconcagua is also non-technical, but you are required to carry heavy packs (60+ pounds) at high altitudes and we recommend a basic course before attempting this climb
Cancellation travel insurance is an insurance policy you buy on your trip. If you should cancel your trip before you leave, or something happens while you are gone that interrupts your vacation, the travel insurance cancellation policy will reimburse you the amount of your purchase, or the losses that you have based on how much of your trip you were actually able to take.
Trip cancellation insurance covers you for the period of time before you depart on your trip, but not during your travels. If you are forced to cancel your trip due to an unforeseen event that affects you, a close family member or your traveling companion, trip cancellation insurance will reimburse you for any prepaid, non-refundable expenses that you cannot use (e.g., airline tickets or hotel rooms).
