Commissions of as much as 20 per cent for selling this product are common, and these titans simply add the cost to the charterer’s invoice. Although optional, they make the customer waive the coverage in writing in order to remove it. 
 
Suggestive selling is not limited to the industry giants. brokers often offer this coverage to their Caribbean yacht charter customers who fear trip delays due to summer tropical weather disturbances. customers also hear the pitch to purchase this coverage, as concerns for lost baggage are common with long, international flights. 
 
Putting aside the fact that someone “profits” from the sale of these policies, a customer should give serious consideration to this coverage option. Whether you rent a boat or a megayacht or a superyacht, for a Caribbean yacht charter or elsewhere, the facts remain the same - you are spending a lot of money and you may wish to protect your investment! 
 
Here are some common questions and answers about :
 
Q. Why should a traveler buy ?
A. gives travelers coverage for unforeseen problems, such as cancelled flights to serious illness - or in rare cases, even an act of terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier. If an illness, accident, or other covered unforeseen circumstance forces a traveler to cancel or interrupt their plans, they face two major financial losses - money invested in nonrefundable prepayments and medical expenses that in many instances may not be covered by health insurance. 
 
Q. What happens if a traveler must cancel his/her vacation?
A. Often a traveler will lose nonrefundable deposits and prepayments that can add up to thousands of dollars. An insurance plan can provide coverage for the charterer’s vacation investment - the insurance company reimburses the traveler for nonrefundable expenses for a covered loss. 
 
Q. How does the coverage work?
A. It reimburses for forfeited, nonrefundable deposits if the traveler must cancel or interrupt their trip due to a covered reason. 
 
Q. What other coverage is typically included in a plan?
A. In addition to cancellation and interruption, the more comprehensive plans may also cover emergency medical expenses and transportation, when ordered by a doctor, to the nearest adequate medical facility; reimbursement for accommodations and expenses incurred due to travel delays; reimbursement for the purchase of essential items if baggage is delayed; and coverage against lost, stolen, or damaged baggage. 

Q. Does cover terrorism?
A. Many policies do not cover terrorism; but some do. 
 
Q. Is the financial default of an airline or tour operator covered?
A. Many programs include financial default coverage if insurance is purchased within 15 days of making the initial trip deposit. 
 
Q. How much does coverage cost?
A. The cost is based on the value of the trip and the age of the traveler. Typically, the cost is five to seven percent of the trip cost. 
 
Q. What else is offered?
A. Most providers offer 24-hour travel agency-type services, in case a traveler has to change a flight or a hotel room. Some offer assistance with emergency cash transfers, pre-trip consultation services (travel advisories, passport requirements, inoculation information, etc.), and live messaging, which will relay any email or phone message to family, friends, or business associates.
