Priceline , Priceline.com Priceline Priceline Insurance ONLY covers, death, job loss, and terrorist abductions!!! Internet

You didn't say what your "unforseen circumstances" were but in general, travel insurance covers VERIFIABLE cases of injury, illness, death, and job loss. There are a LOT of things covered but those are the four general catagories.

Examples of things NOT covered by travel insurance would be ... "my car wont start so I cant go" or "my boss changed my vacation days" or "I cant find someone to watch my dog while I'm gone".

The travel insurance sold through the Priceline webpage really is insurance, and the information about the insurance is provided on the Priceline webpage when it is being offered to customers. Yet for some reason customers that dont bother to look at the info provided, seem to think the travel insurance is some kind of "get out of jail (or reservation) free" card that will allow them to cancel their reserveration for any old reason that they can dream up.

Just like car insurance or homeowners insurance, if you want to file a claim for reimbursement you need to be able to provide proof that a covered issue prevented you from using the reservation you agreed to purchase. You cant go to your car insurance agent, and tell him somebody hit your car, and then expect him to just hand you money to get a new car, without even checking to see if your original car really was damaged or not! He would also need the particulars of the incident, such as "Who hit your car?". If you didnt know who did it, you better have uninsured motorist coverage, or you still wont get any money from him because you wouldn't be covered for that type of issue.
