Trains and Metro not running. Flights delayed or canceled in and out of De Gaulle and Orly. Massive traffic jams. That’s a distinct possibility for France over the coming months, possibly in other European countries as well. Does that mean you shouldn’t plan a trip to Europe? No, but it means you need to take some extra precautions………
That’s why I strongly recommend “cancel for any reason” TCI. Yes, it’s more expensive, and some policies cover less than 100 percent of your prepayments, but it’s the only form of insurance where you’re totally in control of what you want to do with your trip. Any-reason TCI is available from CSA, Travel Guard, TravelSafe, Travelex, and other major suppliers. For your best deal, check one of the comparison sites such as QuoteWright or Squaremouth.
