How does Trip Cancellation and Interruption work?
Trip Cancellation and Interruption coverage reimburses the money you lose if your trip is cancelled or cut short for a sudden, unforeseen covered reason. Trip Cancellation does not cover cancellations for known reasons (e.g. you can’t purchase Trip Cancellation after you or a loved one falls ill, the same way you can’t purchase fire insurance after a fire). Important: Trip Cancellation and Interruption must be purchased at least 21 days prior to departure as an upgrade to the Basic, Plus, or Premium Plan.

Coverage for cancelled trips:
1. Forfeited nonrefundable prepaid deposits or payments
2. The charge for a single supplement if your traveling companion’s trip is cancelled for a covered reason but yours is not
Coverage for interrupted trips:
1. Forfeited, unused nonrefundable prepaid deposits or payments paid prior to your departure date
