Barbara from St. Louis asks: I see that your travel insurance plans can cover me if a family member gets sick or dies. My question is do I have to cancel my trip if a family member dies? I don’t like my brother-in-law and while I’ll be sad for my sister when her husband dies, I wouldn’t cancel my trip over it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Barbara, that’s a good question. The simple answer is “no, you don’t have to cancel your trip if your brother-in-law passes away”.<\/p>\n

Along these lines, let’s say you all are in Europe and while crossing the street you don’t notice the cement truck<\/a> that hits you. Thankfully, you will have travel insurance to cover your medical and emergency transportation expenses.<\/p>\n

In many cases, getting hit by a cement truck<\/a> will cause everyone in party to interrupt their trip and return home early.<\/p>\n

However, if the rest of your family says “Mom, we love you and we’re sorry you got hit by a cement truck<\/a>. But the fact of the matter is that when ask ourselves ‘when will we all come to Europe together again?’ What we’re saying is, we’re not interrupting our trip. Have a nice flight back to St. Louis.”<\/p>\n

In this case, you’ll be reimbursed the unused value of your trip plus the cost of a one-way plane ticket up to your policy’s limit.<\/p>\n

As you can see, having trip cancellation travel insurance gives you a lot of flexibility. Click here to compare travel insurance plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
