What is the difference between trip interruption insurance and trip cancellation insurance?

• Trip Cancellation Insurance: Protects you if you need to cancel your trip before departure due to unforeseen events (e.g., illness, accident).
• Trip Interruption Insurance: Provides coverage if you need to interrupt, cut short, or extend your trip during your stay— also in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

In brief:
- Cancellation = before the trip
- Interruption = during the trip.
