    For a Single Trip policy, we will refund the premium paid less a minimum premium of $25 per insured person for Individual Plan and $25 per Family Plan. We will not refund any amount less than $5. No refund of premium will be made if the trip has commenced, or any claim is made under the policy issued.

    For an Annual Multi-Trip policy, at least 30 days written notice must be submitted to us, and the premium refund will be based on the short period rates stated in the policy, provided no claim is made prior to the policy cancellation. Any premium refund will be made to the payment card used at the time of purchase.
