What are the covered reasons for trip cancellation?

Cancelling a trip can be a difficult and disappointing experience. However, there are situations where it may be necessary. Europ Assistance, a leading provider of travel insurance, lists the main reasons why trip cancellation is covered : a health problem or disease an accident or immobilisation of the vehicle a few days before departure or on the day of departure the death of a loved one a cause related to professional life (dismissal, new job, cancelled holidays, replacement of a colleague, etc.) an administrative reason (examination, visa refusal, theft or loss of passport, summons, etc.). If you have to cancel your trip for any of these reasons, be sure to check your travel insurance policy to see what coverage is available.
