The protection of the traveler(s’)’s traveling costs against uncontrollable events such as transit delays, medical expenses, cancellations of trips, interruptions in travels, medical evacuations, the loss or damage of property, and other situations like these, by means of reimbursement is generally termed as travel insurance. Travel insurance policies can be purchased from an insurance company, which reimburses the money to the traveler(s) if the irrepressible events cause monetary and/or physical damages to them.

Cancellation:

Interruption:
If a traveler has to cut short his/her trip due to adverse events, the insurance company from which the traveler bought the insurance policy will pay money to him.
