To be able to cancel for any reason, you'll have to invest in a "cancel for any reason" insurance policy, offered by companies like Travel Guard. But that kind of peace of mind doesn't come cheap - up to an extra 35% to 50% of the policy's price, estimates Linda Kundell of the USTIA - and depends on your age, your itinerary...
