WTW Affinity has worked with Marriott and Allianz Global Assistance to develop solutions initially available to U.S. residents, enabling them to seamlessly insure their domestic and international travels when booking their hotel stay directly through Marriott. Unlike typical travel insurance for individuals, the travel insurance plans developed for Marriott can cover everyone staying in the room(s), including friends or family, and provide benefits for much more than just the cost of the hotel stays.
The plans* available to Marriott guests and Marriott Bonvoy members can include protection for trip cancellation/interruption providing reimbursement for eligible pre-paid, non-refundable trip expenses such as airfare, hotel, tours/activities, entertainment and sports tickets. They may also include benefits for unexpected expenses caused by covered travel delays such as the cost of rebooking flights, booking an airport hotel room for the night, or paying for a taxi. Depending on the plan purchased, costs for covered emergency medical care and evacuation during a trip, as well as delayed or lost baggage and personal belongings may also be covered.
Christine Panet-Raymond, WTW Affinity said, “With the ongoing pandemic and associated travel disruption, travellers need peace of mind and the ability to travel with confidence more than ever. Guests booking with Marriott now have the option to secure travel insurance protection as an integral part of the booking process.”
