When can I buy travel insurance to cover an earthquake?

You can buy travel insurance with coverage for earthquakes up until the day before your departure date.

Most policies with Trip Cancellation include Hurricane & Weather benefit, which can reimburse a traveler for their prepaid and non-refundable trip expenses if they are unable to travel because of unforeseen inclement weather, such as an earthquake. In order for a traveler to be covered, they must meet their policy’s specific requirements for coverage.
