Travel Insurance for Motorcoach Tours: Because of cancellation penalties, we strongly recommend that you purchase Cancellation & Interruption Insurance for your motorcoach tour.  As members of the American Bus Association, we offer deluxe trip insurance to our travelers through Insure America.  You may purchase this coverage any time before the trip begins, but it is better to purchase it when you make your reservation because payment at that time covers pre-existing conditions. Goodtime Travel accepts payment for the insurance company but any coverage purchased is an agreement between you and the company. You will receive a Certificate of Insurance indicating your coverage. The coverage we offer and its cost are listed below. You may choose to select other insurance sources. All conditions of coverage are dependent upon the policy of your selected insurance company.  (Trip Cancellation & Interruption insurance is included in the tour package on the Alaska Frontier tour.)

Minimum Requirements:  Each tour has a minimum participation requirement. Goodtime Travel seeks to make every tour “go”, but in case we decide that a tour has too few participants for it to be enjoyable or financially feasible, we reserve the right to cancel the tour, and we will refund fully all payments made for that tour, including trip insurance premiums.

“During Convention” Local Tours

Minimum Requirements:  As with the overnight tours, each of the local tours also has a minimum participation requirement. The same policy applies to these tours: If we cancel a tour, you will receive a full refund, including trip insurance premium if applicable.

It is vitally important to reserve the local tours in advance for these reasons: 1) To reserve a space because we think these tours will fill, and 2) To allow us to gauge interest so we can make adjustments – such as adding tours – as your interests dictate.

Payments:  When making a reservation for a local tour, we ask you to pay the full amount with the reservation.

Cancellation and Refund Policy:  If you cancel your local tour before July 1st, you will receive a full refund. For cancellations after July 1st, a 25% service fee will be deducted from your refund.
