Squaremouth’s Winter Storm and Travel Insurance Information Center explains travel insurance coverage for winter storms.
Many travel insurance policies include coverage for winter storms that affect travel, including coverage for cancellations and delays caused by inclement weather. View our FAQs for general information about travel insurance coverage for winter storms, and read official provider position statements to understand coverage for a specific storm.
The first major storm of the 2019-20 winter season hit just before Thanksgiving, canceling hundreds of flights and delaying thousands more.
Travelers can no longer purchase a policy with coverage for losses related to a winter storm once the storm has been named.
Policies purchased before a winter storm is named can include coverage for travel delays and cancellations due to the storm.
Contact customer service for more information about coverage for winter storms. We are available from 8am to 10pm ET daily by chat and by phone at 1-800-240-0369.
