What Trip Cancellation / Interruption 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 your trip's scheduled departure date.

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: 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.

You will find a brief summary of the Terrorism benefits below. Please refer to the applicable policy's Certificate of Coverage or Evidence of Benefits for the complete policy wording. Here are the links to our detailed description pages where you can find the complete policy wording: CSA, Travelex Select, Travelex Max, Travel Guard, Travel Insured and TravelSafe
