We buy insurance to protect large investments like our homes, cars, boats etc. That is why if you have booked a relatively expensive honeymoon then it is almost imperative that you purchase trip cancellation insurance to go along with it. Imagine, that you are driving to the airport, smiles all about and happy thoughts of your special trip when all of a sudden your tires burst right before commencing your non-refundable travel reservations. With trip cancellation insurance, you can rest assured that you will not loose your money. Trip cancellation insurance will reimburse you for the financial losses that you incur when you are required to cancel a trip before departure or interrupt it somewhere along the way. However, trip cancellation insurance will not reimburse you if you simply change your mind about traveling or get cold feet. Almost all trip cancellation insurance policies are effective in the case of sudden illness, injury, or death, yours or a family member's. In addition, also covered in most policies are cancellations due to a wide variety of "unforeseen events": your house burns down, you get jury duty, you get a flat tire on the way to the airport and miss the flight, or a travel supplier is faced with an unannounced strike. You may not need to consider trip cancellation insurance if you can accept the occasional forfeit of a deposit or prepayment. So contact your local or online insurance agent, get some insurance quotes and see whether your honeymoon plans should also include trip cancellation insurance.
