Too late to purchase travel insurance..... ?

OH has flights and hotel booked for xmas with their family.... just found out they don't have any travel insurance at all :eek:. If some gets bought now will it still cover everything if the current cold snap continues and causes delay/cancellation.

Flights etc are currently booked for travel within europe for early on xmas eve, booking was made a few weeks back.

    You need to put that question to your chosen insurer and get their answer in writing before buying a policy.

    No reason why you cant insure now.

    In future, it is advisable to take out travel insurance as soon as you have booked a holiday. You will then be covered for cancellation re
    illness or anything to do with you having to cancel.

    You'll definitely find out when you claim!

    I imagine claims departments will be on the ball for late insurance applications.
