Protect Your Vacation From the Financial Risk of Hurricanes

You have substantial control when it comes to managing vacation risk. For example, by only considering vacation destinations that are politically stable, you reduce the risk of a civil war negatively affecting your trip.

Other travel risks are less controllable. Consider hurricanes. Hurricane paths can only be predicted three to five days in advance. Because vacations need to be planned much further out, the three to five day notice just isn’t enough time to effectively mitigate this risk.  

AccuWeather meteorologists are expecting that anywhere from 20 to 25 storms will be named from June 1, through November 30, 2024. That’s a significant jump from the 11-15 they predicted would happen in 2023. So, if you can’t control this risk, how do you protect your trip against it?

Although there is no way to stop or redirect a hurricane, Dan Drennen, Director of Sales and Marketing at Travel Insurance Center^® suggests a way to hedge against the financial risks at stake. His solution? Travel insurance.

According to Drennen, “It’s smart to cover your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs, especially during hurricane season. If you have valid trip cancellation/interruption coverage which was purchased prior to a storm being named*, then you can rest easy knowing that if a hurricane does ruin your trip, it won’t destroy your bank account. Plus, having that coverage will help ensure your safety if a hurricane does ravage your vacation spot while you’re there.”

Many insurance carriers offer this type of coverage. How do you know which one to go with? Dan recommends utilizing the services of a reputable travel insurance expert like the ones working at Travel Insurance Center. “Travel insurance is not a one-size-fits-all solution,” Drennen stresses. “A good travel insurance agent does the research to find suitable solutions that meet your specific needs and budget.”
