Yes! Most travellers don’t know that they can protect their vacation investment against most penalties, should they have to cancel for any number of covered reasons, including someone in the party getting ill or injured, a non-travelling family member getting sick, or inclement weather closing roads or airports.

Contracting travel insurance is highly recommended, both for medical expenses or last-minute trip cancelation before or during the trip. Check with your insurance company for possible coverage and bring copies of your policy.
