Q Can you recommend a travel insurer who will pay out for a cancelled villa and hire car if our flight is cancelled? I can’t seem to find any at the moment.

A Sorry, I can’t. The reason: given the industrial scale of flight cancellations this summer, if you took out a policy now, the significant possibility of being grounded would be a “known risk” – with cover accordingly withdrawn.
