I've got a trip coming up next week that includes a red-eye from Salt Lake to DC (DCA airport) via Charlotte, then I get on the Cardinal (coach) to Staunton VA for two days and then back on the Cardinal (roomette) to Chicago for another couple of days before taking the Zephyr home (sleeper).
Because this trip has gone through a couple of variations (it didn't include Staunton VA initially), I don't have any travel insurance on this trip at all. I know that Amtrak offered it when making my initial purchase but I forgot to get it; and I had it on my initial flight to DCA but not on my new one.
What I'd like is something that covers the whole thing.. Or, just enough.. Without costing too much.
Looking at some travel insurance options, they talk about the "non-refundable" cost of the trip, which is basically my flight to DCA and my lodging in Staunton. Right? The sleepers are refundable as long as I can call Amtrak before my train is set to depart?
I have a two and a half hour window to get from DCA to Alexandria if my flight is on time. That should cover **most** delayed flight situations but I still want the extreme case covered.
Is there a good single plan/provider/option that covers plane (missing my flight to train connection) and rail (ie, coverage in case the Cardinal gets delayed 7 hours again like it did last weekend, or some other major event happens like 188)?
