The last time I got travel insurance, I found it lacking. The flight was cancelled due to weather, and the insurance company said they would not pay if our flight was rescheduled within 24 hours. This is perhaps a reasonable policy, but the trip was for an interview the next morning, and this 24 hours rule would have put us there after the interview. The insurance company would not have paid, but the good news is that united refunded the airfare paid in full. When I told the agent that the flight would have put us there too late for an interview, she just put in for a refund, and we got a credit on on credit card.

Perhaps in other circumstances the insurance would have been worth the price paid.
