TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Women’s Golf and Travel recommends comprehensive Travel Insurance to protect yourself should the trip encounter an interruption or cancellation, baggage loss, medical issues, accident/life, evacuation, repatriation, or any other loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience. Travel protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of non-refundable trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections, and baggage loss. The purchase of travel insurance is not required, however, a travel insurance waiver is required to be submitted to Women’s Golf and Travel before departure.

We do not carry, and have no obligation to carry, insurance coverage to protect you. For your convenience, we offer Travelex Insurance Services, Inc (CA Agency License #0D10209) travel protection plans. For more information on the available plans, visit Travelex Insurance or contact 800-228-9792 and reference location number 23-0185.

WGT is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans. WGT cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer insurance agent, or call Travelex Insurance 1-800-228-9792 and reference location number 23-0185.

REFUNDS

Any refunds due for cancellations will be issued within 60 days of written notification. Unused or partially used tour features and components are non-refundable. There will be no refunds for any absence from all or any portion of the tour once it commences. This includes such things as missed meals, golf, sightseeing, or any other activity on the tour. However, WGT reserves the right to cancel any individual’s participation in a tour, or any part thereof, for any reason whereupon WGT will refund to the individual whose participation it has canceled a proportionate share of the tour cost (excluding airfare) attributable to the unused portion of the tour.

WGT does not issue refunds or rain checks for future play.
