There was a local couple on the radio this morning telling of their experience. They had booked on the Diamond Princess for a cruise, I think it was this coming June but that might be wrong, for obvious reasons the company has cancelled the cruise and refunded the couple's money in full.
They then contacted the travel insurance company to get a refund for the air fares and other expenses to and from the port of departure but were refused. They got absolutely nothing, the insurance company told them something about being outside a "cooling off period". Their travel insurance cost them $1200 and they were more than a little disgruntled. The insurance was taken out at about the time of booking last year and the refund was not refused because of the virus.
I don't know the exact details because it was only a radio story but it might be worth checking with your insurance company exactly what you are covered for because they were refused under circumstances any normal person would assume they were covered.

I have to say I was impressed with Saga during the recent storm when I lost some tiles off my roof.I telephoned to enquire about making a claim and an estimate was made there and then and a cheque in the post the next day (minus the excess) . I was told to get back to them if the cost was higher.

Lots about it on the News this morning. If you have any travel booked, you really do have to contact your insurance company and check you are covered against the virus. Aviva and LV were mentioned as two of those changing the rules. No doubt they will be inundated with calls but serves them right.|
