A. I recommend using insuremytrip.com to compare rates and policies. Be sure to download a copy of the actual contract before you buy and read the fine print. There’s no travel insurance policy that covers every eventuality and there are a lot of exceptions, exclusions, and loopholes. Some insurers offer “cancel for any reason” policies, but they typically refund only 75% of your trip cost and there are other restrictions.
