Why Vacation Sporting Protector?
Think about the possibility of not being able to go on vacation, or having to cut your trip short for some reason. It’s not a pleasant thought but neither is putting a significant amount of money in jeopardy. Access America’s Vacation Sporting Protector has been specifically designed to protect most travel-related losses, stepping in where other insurance benefits leave off.

When you purchase Vacation Sporting Protector, your vacation deposit and nonrefundable fees are protected if your trip is cancelled, interrupted or postponed for a covered reason. You and your traveling companions will also be covered for travel delays, baggage delays, and baggage theft and damage.*

Here are a few examples: **

• Your spouse becomes ill a few days before departure and you must cancel the trip.
• You’ve prepaid lift tickets, rental equipment and ski/snowboard lessons and must return early from your vacation.
• A member of your family back home passes away while you are away forcing you to cut your trip short.
• You lose your job shortly before departure and must cancel your trip.
• You arrive by air but your bags do not.
