ADVANCE PLANNING HELPS TRAVELERS
WEATHER A TRYING HURRICANE SEASON
SAYS ONLINE AGGREGATOR INSUREMYTRIP.COM
Warwick, RI, October 20, 2005 - With the wrath of Wilma threatening Florida's shores this weekend, there is no apparent end in sight to one of the busiest, most damaging hurricane seasons ever. But while nothing surmounts the devastating after-effects of these natural disasters, it is still important to think ahead. InsureMyTrip.com, the premier online travel insurance aggregator is urging travelers to protect against canceled and/or interrupted vacations and business trips with travel insurance coverage.
"Trip Cancellation insurance is the best way to protect your travel investment against unforeseen events," explains Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. "From total cessation of travel due to a hurricane, to travel delay due to airport closures, to your actual destination being made uninhabitable due to a flood or storm, the perils and consequences are all real and severe."
Advance planning is key as trip cancellation protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events. "That means, once a tropical storm or hurricane is identified in your destination area, you will not be able to secure coverage for trip cancellation and travel delay due to that particular storm."
"Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies," stated Evans. The majority of these policies provide a grace period from 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit, that when purchased in this time frame, include financial default protection and pre-existing medical conditions. "The onslaught of natural disasters has prompted a swift reaction from the travel insurance industry, providing new coverage enhancements and increased benefits to better protect the traveling consumer."
