It's cold out, really cold out. As we Minnesotans are dreaming about going to warm places this week or if you are lucky enough to already have some vacation travel booked - have you ever thought about travel insurance?

Here are some frequently asked questions about Travel Insurance:

What is trip cancellation insurance? Trip cancellation insurance is financial reimbursement of a prepaid, non-refundable travel costs when an unforeseen event, which is a covered reason under the policy, causes a trip cancelation.

What is trip interruption insurance? Trip interruption insurance is financial reimbursement for unused prepaid travel expenses and/or the additional airfare to return home, when an unforeseen event, from which the traveler is protected under the policy, causes trip to be cut short and a return home ahead of schedule.

When is protection from an act of terrorism an included coverage? When a politically-motivated terrorist attack occurs in a city listed on a travel itinerary. The event must occur after the policy takes effect and within 30 days of departure.
