Does Expedia offer travel insurance?

Asked 9 months ago

Good day to you all,
I recently heard about Expedia, and I am interested in booking a family vacation through them. But before I do so, I'd like to know more about them. Do they offer any kind of travel insurance? If they do, what does it cover? Can I add the insurance to my plan after booking, or do I have to choose it first? 
But also, in case I decide against it, what would happen if our flight got canceled without travel protection? Sorry if that's a bit too many questions, but thank you for answering.

Expedia offers travel insurance while you are booking your trip, but its benefits are poor for the price. You're better off using a specialized travel insurance provider in your country. If your flight is canceled without flight protection, your airline usually has to refund you but this is sometimes problematic.

How does Hotels.com handle bookings for large groups or events?

Hello all. My fiancé and I have decided to have our wedding in Italy, and we want it to be a part of a big vacation that includes our loved ones as well. Altogether, there should be about 50 people or so. Needless to say, it's a huge event for us, and although some "surprises" are expected, we would still like everything to go as smoothly as possible. So, with all of that in mind, do you think organizing this event through Hotels.com is a good idea? Has anybody done anything similar? Do you have any helpful tips to share? Thank you.

How can I avoid crowds when visiting popular destinations in France?

Crowds make me anxious and I feel like visiting places with a lot of people around would take away from my travel experience, but I still want to see some of France's touristy spots.

Should I book through Hotels.com or directly through the hotel's website?

I'm mostly interested in personal experiences, as I tend to be very skeptical about reviews that are on official websites. Do you prefer booking via Hotels.com, or do you usually find the hotel you like, go to the website of your preferred hotel, and book through them directly? I've done both in the past, so I don't really see the difference...is there any?

Does Booking.com have "Secret Deals" or other promotional offers for traveling?

I know most similar platforms have some secret deals and ways to earn extra discounts when traveling frequently, which is why I was wondering if anybody here knows more about this website's promotional offers. Could I find coupons online, or is there anything special I'd need to do for better deals? For example, do they have a newsletter I could subscribe to that might offer some promo codes without spamming me to death? Thanks for any tips.

Have you ever used Hotels.com to book a vacation package with flights and car rental?

This might sound like an odd question to ask but basically, I want to go on a long trip on my own. My itinerary includes a short road trip, traveling by plane, and staying at a hotel. A whole package, pretty much. I was told that Hotels.com offers all that I need, but I want to ask if somebody has done something similar. How did it go? Did you have any issues booking all the things you needed? Do you think it is a good idea to book vacation packages with flights and car rentals from Hotels.com, or should I book everything separately instead?

Is there a rewards or loyalty program for frequent travelers on Booking.com?

I am very passionate about traveling - I go somewhere new at least once every few months. Of course, this isn't exactly cheap, which is why I'm always looking for additional ways to reduce my expenses. Basically, I am looking for an agency/company/platform that rewards its most loyal travelers. A coworker suggested I look into Booking.com, but I can't see much about rewards on their website. Could you tell me more about their loyalty reward system, assuming they do have one?
