Travel Insurance Covers Uninhabitable Trip Destinations Reports InsureMyTrip.com
East Greenwich, RI July 6, 2005 - Picture this, five days before you are set to depart on your Caribbean Island vacation, a major hurricane has just ravaged the Island. You discover that the airport has re-opened and your airline is back up on schedule. However, your hotel has been severely damaged with no hope of reopening anytime soon. Your vacation is over before it begins.
This was a common theme during last year's severe hurricane season and replays itself with all major natural disasters. Working with the hotels and airlines to re-book for later dates helps some travelers recoup their vacation investment, but for many, their vacation investment is unfortunately lost.
InsureMyTrip.com, the nation's leading online travel insurance provider, reports that some travel insurance plans do provide coverage if your destination should be made uninhabitable by a natural disaster. "Most trip cancellation package policies provide coverage if you can't reach your destination due to an airport closure or a weather related airline service cancellation," reports Jim Grace, President of InsureMyTrip. "However, as is often the case, service to a destination is usually restored quite quickly and the major issue then becomes the condition of the final destination itself," said Grace.
"Two of our insurance providers, Travel Guard International and CSA Travel Protection, do cover this peril on some of their plans," commented Grace. "A little upfront research with us can pay huge dividends down the road in the event of a natural disaster at your trip's destination," exclaimed Grace.
