Of course no one likes to spend more money, but the truth is that anything can happen when traveling, and it’s a good idea to be protected just in case. Below are some of the most common ways that vacations get ruined and how travel insurance can help.

Trip delays, interruptions, or even cancellations can cause unexpected headaches and expenses, but travel insurance can help make sure you are protected for adjustments you need to make to overcome these situations. Some plans contain cancellation benefits and if you have a covered reason you can be reimbursed for pre-paid non-refundable expenses, like a medical emergency or loss of employment before your trip even begins.
