Is it the same Trip Cancellation or flight cancellation?

Do not confuse the cancellation insurance of flights offered after purchasing air tickets with travel cancellation insurance.

The first only returns (a part) of the amount you spent on the flight, and the second, includes a refund of what you have spent on flights, vacation packages, accommodation, excursions, etc. The difference is huge!

My experience with Mondo’s Trip cancellation insurance

As you know, we’ve been traveling with Mondo travel insurance for two years. For us, it is peace of mind to travel with travel insurance,

It would be best to buy travel cancellation insurance when you buy air tickets long in advance and do not know what can happen.

As happened the year we came to live in France because of Fer’s work (2018). In February, we saw a steal to go on the December long weekend, and obviously, we bought the flight and made some reservations, which you think nothing is going to change… and… you’re going to live in another country…

On our case applied the case “for work reasons”: “Incorporation into a new job of the insured in a different company with an employment contract.”

My recommendation is that you always take out travel cancellation insurance. Especially if you buy the ticket many months in advance, you never know what can happen.

Also, as you’ll see in the examples at the end, they’re cheaper than you can imagine.

Price of travel cancellation insurance

Here are some examples of two typical trips: a week-long U.S. trip and a week-long trip around Europe.

Travel to the United States

You’re going to the United States for a 10-day from the UK. You’ve made your reservations less than a week ago. You want to insure 2000 euros per traveler in case of cancellation of your trip.

The price is (with a 5% discount) 74,59 euros and includes 8 cancellations covered in the English version.

The price is 57,13 € or 63,29 € (with a 5% discount) with 17 or 39 cancellation reasons covered. Both include the refund for unenjoyed holidays in the Spanish web version.

You know that for this price, you are not worth risking losing the amount of your vacation.

Journey through Europe from the UK

Another example, you have seen a very well-priced flight from the UK to some country in Europe, you hire hotels and excursions because it is an excellent offer, but it is a long time, and you do not know what can happen.

A little higher, I told you about our experience, which looks a lot like this example…

You want to ensure about €500 per passenger. With our discount, the price of the insurance is 18.65 euros with 8 cancellation reasons included.
