Travel Safety: Weather Insurance

With a horrendous winter behind us, you might want to think about getting the kind of insurance that will reimburse you for your future troubles, in many instances. InsureMyTrip.com is one such provider, with several kinds of trip cancellation packages.

The one I like best is the Cancel For Any Reason option, and is self explanatory. Other choices include Destination Made Uninhabitable, if your resort, hotel or vacation rental is devastated by a storm; or Cancellation Due to Weather, when common carriers such as airlines and cruise lines cease service due to weather;and Cancellation Due to Hurricane Warning, when your trip destination is under NOAA-issued hurricane warning.

There also is Primary Residence Made Uninhabitable, when your own home sustains destructive storm damage. (This does not include the kind of problems one of my friends went through on Long Island this past winter, when he said he had to dig himself out 27 times in the past 4 months.)

Contact InsureMyTrip at
www.insuremytrip.com or phone them at 800/487-4722. You can also connect to them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter (@insuremytrip).
