Trip cancellation insurance?
We are renting a condo at the beach this winter, and with a 92 yr old father-in-law, I think it will be smart to purchase trip cancellation insurance. Any recommendations?

I have used Travelguard Insurance for 2 trips. The coverage was good and the price was competitive. Check out their website. You can email questions or call them. They have very good customer service. We have not needed to use the insurance so can't speak for that part. Happy traveling!

We buy it every time we go to Jamaica through the hotel we book at (they also insure our air fare). We normally don't do trip insurance, but we go to Jamaica at the tail end of hurricane season. So far we missed a direct hit by 2 weeks, and the following year we watched a hurricane 100 miles offshore - it was a great light show and the waves it created the next few days were loads of fun!

I've been getting it myself lately because of my own health issues and my husband's elderly mother. I usually book through Orbitz or Expedia and purchase it from there as part of the package with the airfares and hotel. When we went to Hawaii, our package was over 5,000 and I was somewhat surprised that you don't get 100% reimbursed, but it's better than not having it.

We bought it when we planned a trip to Universal Orlando with our granddaughter. Best thing we ever did. DGD ended up in the ICU that week with Lemierre's Syndrome. If we'd not had it, we'd have lost almost $7K in airfare, hotel and other excursions we had paid for!! Well worth the extra money, especially with an elderly parent - or if you have children!
