Travel insurance is a prudent investment that provides
peace-of-mind protection against severe weather.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June-November. Inclement weather can disrupt even the best-planned trips. Many things that can go wrong may be covered by travel insurance. These include:

• A common carrier (airline, cruise line) stops travel to a particular destination due to weather
• Your destination is made uninhabitable (hotel/resort or vacation rental is devastated by a storm)
• Your own home sustains storm damage or is made uninhabitable
• Lost or destroyed baggage
• You require medical care, or medical evacuation, while traveling

Ensure peace-of-mind before and during your travels. But take note: coverage differs by company and plan.

Consider these types of coverage when comparing policies:

• Trip Cancellation
• Destination Made Uninhabitable (check plan details)
• Cancel For Any Reason
• Cancel due to Hurricane Warning (check plan details)
• Trip Interruption
• Travel Baggage / Baggage Delay
• Medical
• Emergency Medical Evacuation

3 Travel Insurance Tips for Hurricane Season

1. Advance planning is key. Trip cancellation coverage is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events. You need to purchase coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is identified as possibly affecting a part of your itinerary.

2. Package Policies with Trip Cancellation are best. These policies bundle several types of coverage together and offer the most comprehensive protection.

3. Consider an optional Cancel For Any Reason benefit. Offering incredible flexibility and customer choice options, Cancel For Any Reason is a prime example of the travel insurance industry's ongoing efforts to address and serve real consumer interests. The option makes the decision whether or not to cancel the traveler's choice.
