What Coverage Is Available For Terrorist Incidents?
Terrorism coverage means you can cancel or interrupt your trip if a Terrorist Incident happens within a certain number of days of the scheduled departure date for your trip. Trip Insurance Store.com's plans use "within a certain number of days of the scheduled departure date for your trip".
Next, Terrorism coverage does not include a government mandate (ie - all planes are grounded). One of travel insurance's exclusions says "Any government regulation or prohibition".
Important note: The wording below is the actual wording from each of the providers' own Certificates of Coverage. We don't have a hidden agenda to steer you to one company over another.
