If you file a CFAR claim, you can be compensated for the following types of trip expenses if you can’t get a refund for them: Make sure to read the policy’s fine print and know the deadline for canceling the trip if you buy CFAR insurance.ĬFAR covers insured prepaid, nonrefundable trip expenses, and reimburses you for a percentage of the total cost. For example, if you’re leaving tomorrow and you want to cancel the trip today, you probably won’t be able to make a CFAR claim.

You generally have to cancel your trip no less than 48 hours before your departure. The deadline for adding CFAR will depend on the travel insurance company, and not all companies offer it. This is usually 14 days but make sure to check your plan. To get CFAR travel insurance you’ll have to purchase a base travel insurance plan and add “cancel for any reason” coverage within a certain time frame after your first trip payment. The percentage for CFAR reimbursement will be listed in the policy. You will generally be reimbursed for 75% of your prepaid, forfeited and nonrefundable trip costs. For example, if you get sick right before your trip and can’t go, that’s generally covered by standard trip cancellation insurance and you can make a claim for 100% reimbursement of the trip costs you lose.īut if you want the flexibility to cancel for reasons not listed in the base policy, CFAR can help. “Cancel for any reason” insurance lets you cancel a trip for a reason not listed under your trip cancellation coverage and receive partial reimbursement.
