Here is a true story for you about trip cancellation insurance that happened to my brother. He and his lovely wife decided it was time to take a vacation, destination Vermont. Now both of them work full time very demanding jobs, so planning the right time off of work was crucial. But like most people they did plan ahead, set a time, booked a lavish vacation packaged and then played the waiting game until their vacation date finally arrived; of course my brother was wise enough to purchase trip cancellation insurance when he had booked their vacation.
Little did they know that they were both going to get food poisoning at a sushi restaurant one day prior to their trip. Instead of being able to make their flight and head out to Vermont, they were both hospitalized briefly and had to cancel their vacation. So this is where trip cancellation insurance really came in handy. They did not have to contact any of the companies they had booked their trip through, such as the airliner, the hotel or the rental car company.
Instead they just made one simple call to their trip cancellation insurance company and filed a simple claim. Within a matter a few weeks they received a check in the mail for the money they had spent on the trip. Moral of the story, trip cancellation insurance is a great option to look into when planning an expensive vacation.
