MEDICAL INSURANCE:

Elevate Destinations requires that all travelers purchase medical insurance that will cover them for any medical expenses while in the Caribbean, including Covid related expenses. If you have medical insurance that will cover you in the Caribbean, please email Sarah (sarahbesser@elevatedestinations.com) with a copy of your insurance policy including your insurance provider’s emergency phone number.

While not required, Elevate Destinations strongly recommend that travelers purchase insurance with Cancel for Any Reason level coverage. Please note that all Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) insurance policies are time sensitive and require purchase within 1 to 21 days of making a payment for your trip. CFAR provides more robust coverage for any unexpected trip cancellations or delays.

2. Trawick International – Trawick International provides fast and basic insurance coverage. You can contact Trawick at info@trawickinternational.com or call (888) 301-9289 anytime.

Guests may acquire medical insurance through Yonder, Trawick International, or any other insurance company of their choosing. If you purchase insurance with Yonder, please be sure to tell them you have booked your trip through Elevate Destinations. Elevate Destinations recommends that travelers evaluate the insurance options available for their needs and inquire with providers about insurance that will provide coverage if the trip needs to be cancelled.
