TRIP AND TRAVEL INSURANCE
Sh*t Happens
We all know that, but still we seem to be surprised when it happens to us. That’s why we strongly encourage you to get trip protection insurance to protect your investment in the cost of the trip if you have to cancel.
We also REQUIRE all travelers to have travel insurance.
Trip protection insurance and travel insurance are two different concepts. Both are important, especially at our age. Sometimes our bodies rebel and we have to cry uncle. Or sometimes a loved one–a spouse, a parent–requires care. Several travelers have had to cancel trips; one woman was on the way out the door to the airport when she sprained her ankle seriously. These examples are times when trip protection comes into play.
Others have gotten COVID during a trip and had to leave the trip. This is when travel insurance comes into play.
It breaks our hearts, but once we enter the non-refundable phase of a trip, we CANNOT give money back. We’ve already paid hotels and vendors. So make like a girl scout and be prepared!
What is Trip Protection Insurance?
Trip insurance protects you if there is a cancellation or interruption of a trip or a vacation package. (It also covers you if there is a delay in your arrival to your trip destination or a return to home or if there’s a loss of baggage or personal effects.)
Please discuss terms with your insurance representative.
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance covers you for medical or health issues WHILE you’re on a trip. That means if you get sick or have an accident (God forbid), your medical costs are covered. Usually your return transportation home is as well. It doesn’t necessarily refund you for days you missed on the trip, but it makes sure you’re taken care of medically while you’re away from home.
When Should I Buy Insurance?
The sooner you purchase a trip protection or travel insurance plan, the more it can cover! We recommend purchasing within 14 days of making your initial trip payment of any kind, and prior to making your final pre-trip payment. Please ensure that all the activities you plan on participating in are covered by your travel insurance.
When you purchase it within 14 days of booking (and before your final payment) you can get better coverage

These plans provides insurance coverage that only applies during the covered
trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar
benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages.
You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home, and automobile insurance policies.
If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer or
insurance agent or broker.
And Keep in Mind…
Since we are not licensed insurance agents or brokers, we are not allowed to:
*Answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of any of the insurance offered by the travel retailer.
*Evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage.
Talk to a licensed agent for all the details.

What I love about the NextTribe trips is that there is so much camaraderie of other women that are like you, and then the fabulous things that the organizers puts together to give you that viewpoint, it’s awesome.

What I love about NextTribe trips is that you get the experience from an insider’s perspective—someone that has ties to the community and focused on building relationships from the start. I’ve been on a trip with another women’s travel group that dropped a guide in, not personally knowing anything about the locale, traditions, or culture. She was there to make sure you showed up on time, got on the bus, etc. With NextTribe, you feel like you’re having a personalized experience with your best girlfriends.

I didn't know anyone going on the trip but that didn't stop me from signing up. I have learned that some of my life's greatest adventures have come from taking a risk and jumping in feet first. So glad I did with NextTribe! I may not have known anybody at the start, but now I feel like I know everybody.

I look forward to all my NextTribe newsletters which are full of interesting articles that speak to me, and answer questions or address topics no one else deals with. I love that it is a “safe space.” All the NextTribers feel like friends I haven’t met yet.

I’ve just started reading through the articles and have found them to be very timely, informative and – age appropriate, all in one place. I like that they are more about life than how to lose weight and/or look younger etc.

Leslie M., Georgia
I always come by myself on NextTribe trips because I like to meet super fun and interesting women. We're always doing fun and interesting things in great cities that you couldn't do on your own because you wouldn't know the people or places or the insiders.

I can count on your timely and well written commentary on major events affecting us boldest women. Whether it’s the death of one of our icons or reactions to Barbie, I count on you for quotable quotes from name brand authors like Michele Willens and Leslie Bennetts.
