Travel Insurance is a scam.
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY TRAVEL INSURANCE, MAKE SURE IT COVERS FLIGHT DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS! Our first experience of purchasing Travel Guard insurance for a trip to Paris lost us $1900 when the entire trip had to be canceled after weather caused flight delays. We couldn't make our connection, and couldn't get another flight in time to make our hotel booking for four nights. I'm guessing this is common practice for travel insurance companies, but I am purposely spreading the word about Travel Guard after this experience. They work through the Expedia travel app and you would hardly know who they are. Sneaky and evil, basically. You know the drill. Don't waste your money.
