For a limited time, Air Canada Vacations (ACV) is offering StormGuard Protection free-of-charge for bookings made by May 14, 2017 for select departures between June 1 and November 30, 2017.

“In the Caribbean, the summertime is typically known as hurricane season; however, StormGuard gives travellers peace of mind when booking their vacation with ACV,” said Nino Montagnese, Managing Director, Air Canada Vacations. “Plus, the now waived fee will make it even easier for travel agents to add-on this protection plan to client bookings.”

StormGuard protection applies to destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico (excluding West Coast Mexico and Mexico City) and allows clients to rebook their vacation package if the US National Hurricane Center declares a tropical storm warning within three days (72 hours) of their scheduled departure. The option normally costs $49 CA per person ACV is waiving the fee for bookings made by May 14, 2017.

When invoking StormGuard, customers have within six months to rebook and complete their trip. Customers don't pay a change fee, but should the price for the package increase, based on the new dates they select, they are responsible for paying the difference.

This free StormGuard offer is valid on Air, Hotel & Transfer packages, as well as hotel-only or air-only bookings to Mexico and the Caribbean (excluding west coast Mexico and Mexico City). It applies to new bookings only and is not applicable to group bookings.
