With Valentines Day coming up, you might be looking to take your special someone on a special vacation, insuring your trip with international travel health insurance. The last thing you want to manage during such a special trip is the extra stress of losing your baggage, arriving late, or losing a bunch of money because you need to cancel your trip.

The one-stop solution to ensure that your trip investment is returned to you is trip cancellation insurance. Trip cancellation insurance does not just reimburse the costs of a cancelled flight. Most plans offer reimbursement for non-refundable hotel reservations and other expenses as well.

Most trip cancellation plans also offer some sort of baggage loss benefit. Usually, the expenses are refunded provided the cancellation of the trip is due to a covered reason—usually the death of a close family member, or the destruction of the primary residence of the plan holder.

Remember to read the clauses in the trip cancellation insurance carefully to check the reasons for cancellation that are covered. Purchasing the “Cancel for Any Reason” rider covers you for most reasons, but some are still excluded. “Change of Valentines’ Heart’ is probably, unfortunately, one the exclusions!
