Trip cancellation insurance

From Ask in Wiki

Trip-Cancellation Insurance (TCI) is designed to 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. But TCI will not reimburse you if you simply change your mind about traveling.

Virtually all TCI policies are effective in the case of sudden illness, injury, or death, yours or a family member's. Also covered in most policies are cancellations due to a wide variety of "unforeseen events": your house burns down, you are summoned for jury duty, you get a flat tire on the way to the airport and miss the flight, or a travel supplier is crippled by an unannounced strike.
