Cancel for any reason (also referred to as “CFAR”) is an optional add-on benefit of travel insurance that lets you cancel travel plans for reasons other than those listed as “covered reasons” on a policy.

It’s offered as a part of certain comprehensive plans, is time-sensitive, and has other eligibility requirements. Reimbursement may be up to 50% to 75% of your insured pre-paid nonrefundable trip cost. CFAR policies still have some exclusions and requirements you should know about, including:

• You’ll need to cancel no later than 48 hours before your trip
• You’ll only get between 50% to 75% of your trip costs reimbursed
• You need to buy coverage within several days of booking the trip

PARIS BY EMY has its own business insurance covering its services and its activities only. So you might choose a CFAR insurance for the greatest flexibility.
