Travel Insurance? Cancel for any reason? New trends?

Travel Insurance? Cancel for any reason? New trends?

Author: Host Agency Reviews August 1, 2025 Duration: 17:32

This week for the Friday 15, Shayna and Steph are thrilled to join forces with the Arch Roamright team. They'll take on a slew of questions about travel insurance this Friday at 12 pm CST, so don't miss this one! 

  • Sometimes clients say they’re already covered through their credit card. How do I explain the differences without sounding sales-y?
  • I often get questions about ‘cancel for any reason’ coverage , when is it truly worth recommending, and how do I explain the limitations?
  • Are there any new trends in travel insurance we should know about, things like adventure travel, cruises, or luxury trips. Where or how is coverage evolving?
