WARWICK, R.I., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Mother Nature is often at her worst
during hurricane season, a six-month weather window which began June 1st and
continues through the end of November. This year looks to be no exception as
NOAA predicts six to nine hurricanes, including several major ones of Category
3 or higher, for the 2008 Hurricane Season. So if your plans include
traveling to, or if you live in a hurricane-prone region, remember that travel
insurance is a prudent investment that provides peace-of-mind protection
against severe weather.
"The first step to protecting your travels during hurricane season is to
always plan ahead," advises Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com,
the leading online travel insurance comparison site. Trip cancellation and
interruption protection is based on the unexpected happening. So you want to
purchase coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is on the weather map.
"Equally as important, travelers should know that coverage for
weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differ significantly by
company and plan," continues Grace. The coverage spectrum includes:
-- Weather Cancellation: when common carriers such as airlines and cruise
lines stop travel to a particular destination due to weather
-- Cancellation due to Hurricane Warning: cancellation of your trip if
your destination is under a NOAA-issued hurricane warning
-- Destination made Uninhabitable: if your hotel, resort, or vacation
rental is devastated by a storm
-- Primary Residence made Uninhabitable: your own home sustains
destructive storm damage
-- Cancel for Any Reason - an optional benefit that allows you to choose
whether or not to cancel.
