Insuranceopedia Explains Trip Interruption
Injuries, illnesses, family emergencies and financial crises are all examples of things that can cause a person to end a trip early. For many people, ending their trip because of such events could result in significant monetary losses. For example, imagine that a Canadian man has planned to go on a month long “walk-about” vacation in the Australian outback. If he is bitten by a snake on the first day of the trip and has to return home for medical care, he could lose thousands of dollars. However, if he has trip interruption insurance, he wouldn’t lose the money he’d spent on a trip he can’t complete.
