MINNEAPOLIS, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As peak travel season is near, Yonder Travel Insurance, an unbiased travel insurance comparison site, reveals more travelers are prioritizing flexible cancellation benefits to mitigate increased travel risks. Yonder also relays insightful summer 2024 travel trends based on customer data.
Rise in Cancel for Any Reason Policies Purchased
Compared to sales for summer travel in 2023, Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) policy sales are up 92% for Yonder customers taking trips this summer. To be more precise, 27% of Yonder travelers vacationing this summer opted for CFAR coverage to mitigate any risk of their travel plans falling through.
CFAR is a travel insurance upgrade that allows travelers to cancel for any reason at all and receive a 50-75% reimbursement of their insured trip costs.
“Given the deterioration of global peace, increased travel advisories, and specific cancellation concerns, travelers are looking for greater flexibility in canceling their trips via CFAR coverage,” says Terry Boynton, co-founder and president of Yonder Travel Insurance.
Average CFAR Policy Premiums Based on Age
Because Cancel for Any Reason coverage is an upgrade, there’s an added cost to include this with your travel insurance. Yonder provided an age-based breakdown of the average premium per person for a CFAR policy below using the average trip cost of $7,565 for 2024 summer travelers.
- Age 30: $146.58 (2.0% of trip cost)
- Age 40: $194.70 (2.6% of trip cost)
- Age 50: $296.87 (4.0% of trip cost)
- Age 60: $587.52 (7.8% of trip cost)
