Travel Insurance

[mgilmer]

My family and I are driving to Disney in June and I need to get some travel insurance. My wife's grandfather is elderly and in declining health and in case something happens while we are on the road, I would like to be covered so that we would not lose our costs of our vacation if it is terminated prematurely. I would appreciate any referrals to any companies, websites, or agents you have used.

Don't have any advice on companies but I would caution you to read everything. Most of the cheaper plans will not allow you to cancel if someone in your family is ill. It needs to be someone in your traveling party. I'm sure there are policies out there that allow for this but make sure you read all the fine print.

Try insure my trip.com. We have used them in the past and they also have a number to call if you need any info. Grammy

I just booked our family trip yesterday, and insured through the travelguard.com website. A couple of the offered coverages had an option to 'cancel for any reason' - if you pay extra for that option, you get 50% of your costs back.

I take it Disney's insurance is not so great? I read that on another site, but haven't seen anything about it here.
