- Illness - 12%
- Injury - 10%
- Inflexible work commitments - 10%
- Relationship break up - 9%
- Death of a pet - 7%
- Death of a loved one - 6%
- Unforeseen financial circumstance - 6%

- Pregnancy - 2%
The report showed that only 4% had effective cancellation cover on their travel insurance if they had insurance at all.
