Nobody buys insurance with the intention to actually claim it. It's needed to protect against losses due to adverse events. This type of insurance will leave the customer underinsured without their knowledge.
The purpose of an insurance is to be able to claim it when an insurable event occurs.
But, touch wood, we don't hope for the insurable event to occur. Otherwise why buy.
For me, the logic of an action is to reap the outcome. For eg investing in a stock to gain capital growth. Or a degree to seek a job.
In the case of insurance, some insurers permit an event to be claimable while another does not. For instance, one insurer allowed me to claim taxi fare to a local hospital. Another insurer insisted only ambulance fees are claimable. In both instances, the conveyance was to rush to the hospital.
Airline cessation is generally not claimable under standard operations disruptions. But, if the event was unforseen before insurance purchase, some insurers do allow claims, out of good will.
I asked my insurance broker and he just told me their partners will pay. Of course, it is a more atas insurer.
Best to read policy conditions before buying. If there is no intent or inability to claim when an insurable event occurs, I will not buy the insurance. It's money down the drain. Same for auto insurance when accident occurs, or hospitalisation insurance, when ill.
I will avoid cheap travel insurance.
