What is Interruption For Any Reason travel insurance?

Interruption For Any Reason can provide partial reimbursement for unused prepaid and non-refundable trip payments if a trip is interrupted for a reason not otherwise covered by a policy.

In most cases, Interruption For Any Reason is an optional upgrade that can be added to select policies with Trip Interruption coverage. This benefit is time-sensitive and can only be purchased within 14-21 days of the first payment toward the trip. However, select policies may offer this benefit anytime up until the traveler makes their final trip payment.

Policies that offer this upgrade can cover travelers for 50-75% of their trip cost if they interrupt their trip at least 48 or 72 hours after their departure date, depending on the policy.

Select cruise-only policies offer Interruption For Any Reason as long as the policy is purchased within the time-sensitive window. Policies with this coverage built in can reimburse travelers for $250-$1,000, depending on the policy, if they interrupt their trip at least 48 hours after their departure date.

Please be aware that coverage and eligibility requirements for this benefit differ by policy. The tables below show the providers that offer Interruption For Any Reason coverage.
