I&#8217;m a bit worried about Brexit. I&#8217;m not sure what might happen, e.g. getting stuck in Europe while on my connection, or my flights becoming unavailable or something. I&#8217;m interested in having insurance in case of travel delays or any other coverage that would result from any disputes between the European Union and the United Kingdom<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All Travel Insurance plans, in some way or another, exclude governmental actions or requirements as a normally Covered Reason for a Travel Insurance claim. This means that you are not covered under any policy provision if your trip is affected by Brexit or any other governmental action.<\/p>\n<p>Having said this, you do have one way to potentially cover the value of your prepaid and non-refundable trip costs if you decide to completely cancel your trip at least 2 days before you leave. You would need to have a policy that includes the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tripinsurancestore.com\/cancel-for-any-reason-travel-insurance-plans\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cancel For Any Reason<\/a>&#8221; coverage.<\/p>\n<p>There are some details you need to know up front about the \u201cCancel For Any Reason\u201d coverage that will help you decide if it&#8217;s worth the extra cost:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You will be reimbursed not more than 75% of your<br \/>\nper person prepaid, non-refundable trip costs at the time you cancel<\/li>\n<li>This adds about 50% to your policy&#8217;s price<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not &#8220;Delay For Any Reason&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not &#8220;Change Your Travel Arrangements For Any Reason&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>You must cancel your trip at least 2 calendar days before your scheduled Departure Date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s up to you if it&#8217;s worth getting a policy for a potential disruption related to Brexit. I personally don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a risk insuring against because I can&#8217;t imagine why any government will intentionally want to disrupt the flow of commerce and cause a financial problem.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this made sense.
