I am still surprised at how many coastal property managers allow guest refunds for stays that have to be cancelled due to named storms.\u00a0 \u00a0In North Carolina, whenever I’ve booked a vacation rental on the coast, the property management company always recommended the purchase of travel insurance.\u00a0 \u00a0They let me know at every stage of the booking that I would not be getting my money back in the event of a tropical storm or hurricane.\u00a0 \u00a0My only course of recourse would travel insurance and they highly suggested I purchase it – especially if my travel was during hurricane season.<\/p>\n

As a guest,\u00a0 that did not bother me.\u00a0 I can understand why a business cannot allow mother nature to interrupt their cash flow.\u00a0 \u00a0Imagine having to refund all of those guests stays, especially during a busy Labor Day travel season, because of a hurricane.\u00a0 Yikes, what a mess.<\/p>\n

Travel insurance isn’t that expensive and it provides a lot more than just protection from named storms.\u00a0 It protects against cancellation due to job loss, sickness and a death in the family.\u00a0 It protects not only your vacation rental accommodations, but flight costs too, as well as costs associated with lost luggage.<\/p>\n
