The ONLY time that travel insurance makes any sense, is on a very high cost trip where there is a lot of complexity, and the rate is cheap. You can pick up a lot of hotel rooms and meals in airports with the $$$$ you save by not spending $20-30 bucks on every airline ticket you buy...
I am referring to travel insurance that comes with credit cards such as Amex Plat and Chase Sapphire Reserve. I pay nothing, and they've covered my trip delay costs 4 times so far.

Obviously, YMMV, but I have had good experiences.
