What dates to enter when purchasing travel insurance?

Your travel is apt to begin in the departure date, but if you are delayed en route, it could end a day or two later. I'd choose a insurance end date a day or three after your planned arrival.

So I found this FAQ on https://www.travelinsuranz.com.au/page/FAQs:

What dates should I enter when getting a quote?

Your policy start date is the date that you leave your home in Australia. You will be covered under the cancellation section of your travel insurance from the moment you buy your policy until the date you leave Australia.

The end date is the date that you arrive back to your home in Australia or your nominated expiry date whichever is the sooner.

That seems to answer my question (i.e. enter the dates of travel (e.g. 1st Mar 2020 - 3rd Mar 2020), and you're still covered for cancellation from the date of purchase). I assume the same is true of other insurance companies.
