travel insurance
Vacation backup plan
Travel insurance is coverage purchased before a trip to protect against financial losses from unexpected events—trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, lost luggage, or travel delays.
Policies vary widely in what they cover and exclude.
We bought travel insurance in case we had to cancel.
Some credit cards include basic travel insurance as a benefit.
