Trip Cancellation Insurance

The vast majority of travellers to Croatia (or anywhere else) have a great time and experience no problems whatsoever.  However. As we know, there is always an element of uncertainty even though travel in Croatia is quite safe.

Protect Yourself from Croatian Ferries!

In one circumstance particular to Croatia, trip cancellation insurance can be an especially good idea. If your trip involves a ferry trip, you need to bear in mind that, while Croatian ferries are highly reliable, the Adriatic sea is not! It can happen that a stormy sea will force the cancellation or delay of a boat (more likely October through March). Imagine that you have pre-booked your hotel or have non-refundable flight tickets impacted by that delayed ferry. Your missed hotel or flight arrangements could cost you a fortune and trip cancellation insurance would cover you.

Why Get Insurance?

Trip cancellation insurance can cover you in the event of natural disasters, missed flights, a death in the family or health problems that can prematurely end your trip. With non-refundable flight tickets, a pre-booked hotel, ferries etc. you could be out a substantial amount of money if circumstances force you to cancel your trip.

That's why trip cancellation insurance can be a good idea, especially when combined with medical coverage and lost baggage coverage. It's up to you to take a look at your personal situation and decide if you need the extra peace of mind that trip cancellation insurance can provide.

Don't think that buying travel insurance means you can cancel a trip for any reason and get your money back! Policies stipulate acceptable reasons for a cancellation with exclusions for things like existing medical conditions, acts of war and, in some cases, acts of terrorism; so it's important to read the fine print on a policy to understand what it covers and what's excluded.
