We encourage you to consider getting “Travel Cancellation” insurance. Travel insurance should typically cover registration fees in addition to the cost of flight and hotels.

Some travel credit cards offer limited insurance coverage but it is often not comprehensive. If you lose your luggage, get stranded due to airline problems, or need to travel for family medical emergencies, you may be covered. However, it is very rare, if not impossible, to find a credit card that offers medical coverage in any capacity.

Comprehensive solutions are available from these providers:


• Travelex

• Travelinsurance.com

• AllianzTravelInsurance.com

We offer discounts to groups of 8 or more, veterans and active duty military, and children. Email info@latrail.org to learn more.

Our cancellation policy is one of the most generous in the game. However, we encourage you to consider purchasing “Travel Cancellation” insurance. In some cases, the insurance may cover registration fees in addition to the cost of flights and hotels.
