 Why Buy Vacation Rental Insurance?
Even the best-planned vacation can be impacted by the unexpected. Illness... severe weather... car problems... delayed flights... lost luggage. Troubles can occur when you least anticipate them forcing you to cancel or interrupt your trip, lose your vacation investment, and incur unplanned expenses. And when you're away from home, things like medical emergencies and illness are even more difficult to manage.
Here are 5 real-life scenarios to think about:
1. Your 3-year old daughter develops a severe ear infection two days before your vacation. Can you cancel your trip and get reimbursed for your prepaid travel arrangements?
2. You spent over a year planning your vacation. Two days into the trip you're forced to evacuate due to an approaching hurricane. Who's going to pay for the unplanned expenses to get you back home? Will you get your money back for the unused travel arrangements for which you've already paid?
3. Your luggage never showed up at baggage claim and you just discovered you may not get it for another 24-48 hours. Now you must buy necessary personal items and clothing you'll need until its returned to you. Can you get reimbursed for this?
4. You're on a scenic road in the mountains en route to your vacation home when your car breaks down. How will it get towed?
5. You're in a remote location and suffer a broken leg, how will you get to the nearest hospital to get the medical attention you require? Who will pay for the high costs involved in the evacuation since you're outside of your health plan's coverage area?
