I’m considering a 16 day trip to South Africa with Elderhostel. I am interested in a trip cancellation only insurance plan. I’ve read about these kinds of plans. How much will this plan cost me? Betty

This question frequently comes up, so I’m happy to address it here. Betty has probably read an article telling her that she’ll save money by getting a plan without all the extras.

In theory Betty will save money except that no travel insurance company has a trip cancellation only insurance plan. The reality is that there’s not enough, if any, profit in having a trip cancellation only travel insurance plan.

Here’s more why these plans aren’t available and what you can do if that’s what you wanted.
