A new survey of travelers finds 31% are more likely than before the pandemic to purchase travel insurance. Debbie Haas, VP of Travel at Triple-A, says the respondents’ number-one concern is COVID-19.

“We see that typically, half of claims happen because of things that occur between the time of booking and the time of travel,” says Haas. “So having coverages that give you that piece of mind once you’ve made your plans, then you know that a number of eventualities are covered, either before you go or while you’re in transit.”

69% of travelers say the ability to cancel a trip and get a refund is most important to them when considering travel insurance.
