Trip cancellation coverage reimburses you for non-refundable, prepaid trip costs when you need to cancel your trip before departure for a covered reason. This is often the primary reason travelers purchase insurance - to protect their financial investment in flights, hotels, tours, and other bookings.
Common covered reasons for cancellation
- Illness, injury, or death of the traveler or an immediate family member
- Severe weather events at the destination (hurricanes, earthquakes)
- Jury duty or court subpoena
- Job loss or employer-mandated schedule changes
- Travel advisor or tour operator bankruptcy
- Government-issued travel advisories
Want even more flexibility?
Standard trip cancellation only covers specific listed reasons. If you want the freedom to cancel for any reason at all, consider adding Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage to your plan. CFAR provides partial reimbursement regardless of why you’re cancelling.
