Who we are
TravallamaINS is part of Travallama Insurance Brokers LLC, an independent travel insurance agency. We don't work for one insurance company. We compare plans from the top carriers and show you the plans that best fit your trip.
We call it our A-to-Z protocol. From the first question to a paid claim, we're here to help guide you and directly answer any questions you have. We'll stay with you before, during and after your trip.
Individuals
A solo vacation, a work trip, or a long stay abroad. Traveling on your own doesn't mean going it alone: we'll be with you every step of the way.
Families
One plan for everyone living at the same address, or multiple plans for an extended family trip. We'll recommend the right one for all of you.
Small groups
Reunions, milestone trips and friends traveling together, with each household on its own plan. Let us recommend the right one for each of you.
What's covered
Much of travel insurance exists for the gap between paying and the actual start of the trip, and for the unexpected during your travels.
Trip cancellation
Trip cancellation coverage reimburses prepaid, non-refundable costs when a covered reason (illness, injury, a death in the family, and other listed events) prevents you from going. Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) is an optional upgrade that extends this benefit to any reason beyond those listed in the policy.
Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) typically reimburses 50% or 75% of your prepaid, non-refundable trip cost, depending on the plan and the option you choose.
It usually must be bought within 14 to 21 days of your first trip payment, the full trip cost must be insured, and you must cancel at least two days before departure.
New York residents: CFAR is not sold in New York. Some plans offer Cancel for Fortuitous Reasons (CFFR) instead.
Trip cancellation: which reasons are covered
Cancel for Any Reason explained
Trip interruption
If a covered reason cuts your trip short, interruption coverage reimburses the unused, non-refundable portion and helps with the extra cost of getting home. Interruption for Any Reason (IFAR) is an optional upgrade that extends this benefit to any reason beyond those listed in the policy.
Interruption for Any Reason (IFAR) typically reimburses a percentage of the unused, non-refundable trip cost if you end your trip early for a reason the policy doesn't list.
Like CFAR, it usually has a purchase window tied to your first trip payment and may require you to be away a minimum number of days first. It isn't offered on every plan or in every state.
Delays and baggage
Delays, missed connections, and lost or delayed baggage are the more common problems that can become expensive, especially when you're traveling with a family.
Medical and evacuation
Emergency medical and evacuation benefits matter, whether you're on a domestic or international trip. Your health plan may pay little or nothing outside your home area.
Many plans cover a pre-existing medical condition only if you buy within a set window after your first trip payment, insure the full trip cost, and are medically able to travel on the day you buy.
Every plan defines its look-back period differently. Your plan documents govern.
Emergency medical and evacuation answers
Travel insurance and pre-existing conditions
Three important rules
Missing one of these is the most common reason a traveler loses a benefit they thought they had.
Window of 14–21 days from deposit
Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR), Interruption for Any Reason (IFAR), and coverage for pre-existing medical conditions generally require the plan to be purchased within 14 or 21 days of your first trip payment. That's your deposit or your airline tickets, whichever came first.
Insure the full trip cost
The entire prepaid, non-refundable cost of the trip must be insured, including airfare and any other pre-trip expenses. Insuring only part of it can void the benefits above. If you make more payments later, you may need to add them to your plan.
Know who cancelled
Cancellation benefits apply when you cancel for a covered reason. If the airline, cruise line, or tour operator cancels instead, a different benefit may apply, or none at all, and a claim filed the wrong way can be denied.

New York disclosures
Our role and how we are paid. TravallamaINS, part of Travallama Insurance Brokers LLC, acts as an insurance producer in this transaction and is not the insurer. The insurance company or its representative will pay us compensation, which may be based in whole or in part on the contract we sell and may differ from compensation on other products. You may request in writing at the compensation we expect to receive on this policy and on any alternative quotes presented to you. We will provide it before you complete the purchase.
Licensing. Jeffrey G. Barr (NPN 8469572) is licensed in New York as an insurance agent and broker, New York license numbers LA-1175438, PC-1175438, LB-1175438 and BR-1175438. Full details are on our Licenses page. We offer plans only where we are licensed and the plan is approved.
Approved plans only. Only plans filed with and approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services may be sold to New York residents. Cancel for Any Reason is not available in New York.

Right to review. Plans typically include a free-look period after purchase during which you may cancel for a refund of the plan cost if you have not departed and have not filed a claim. Your plan documents state the exact period and conditions.
No coverage is bound here. Nothing on this website binds coverage, alters a policy, or guarantees that a claim will be paid. Coverage exists only when a plan is issued by the insurer, and the issued policy governs in all cases.
