Financially, defacto travel insurance expert Anna-Marie Doughty says if this happens after you book your trip, “you may be covered for cancellation or curtailment”.

“Also, additional travel and accommodation costs may be covered if your trip is disrupted by an accident, if your insurer offers this cover or you pay to include it,” she added.
