Covered reasons generally involve events affecting the traveler, their parents, siblings, or grandparents that prevent travel. Claims require appropriate supporting documentation, such as documentation from a doctor, police officer, or firefighter. Coverage depends on the policy's actual terms.
For full details or to purchase a policy, visit Allianz Travel Insurance or ask Lake City Travel for assistance. Insurance may also cover certain risks such as supplier bankruptcy or a medical or personal emergency that prevents travel, depending on the policy.

Travel agency responsibility and payment terms
Lake City Travel & Cruises books services as an agent for third-party suppliers, including airlines, ground transportation, hotels, meals, tours, and insurance.

Unless expressly guaranteed in writing on the relevant ticket, invoice, or reservation itinerary, the agency does not guarantee supplier rates, bookings, reservations, connections, schedules, baggage, or other personal effects. The traveler also agrees not to hold the agency responsible for injury, damage, or loss arising from circumstances outside its reasonable control.
