Hurricane Season 2016 Advisory: TravelInsurance.com Reminds Travelers To Purchase Travel Insurance Before The Next Storm Hits
With the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, TravelInsurance.com reminds consumers to protect their travel investments and travel with peace of mind
NEW YORK, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warns there may be more hurricane activity this season than in the past three years. Leading travel insurance comparison website, TravelInsurance.com, urges travelers to protect their travel investments before the next hurricane hits.
"Travel insurance is designed to protect policyholders from unforeseen or unexpected situations. Once a storm is named by the World Meteorological Organization, it's a known hazard, and it's too late to protect against weather-related damages and delays due to that storm," notes Stan Sandberg, Co-Founder of TravelInsurance.com. "During hurricane season, which runs from June to November, we recommend buying a policy with weather-related coverage as soon as you've purchased travel."
According to the NOAA, there is a "70 percent likelihood of 10 to 16 named storms, of which four to eight could become hurricanes, including 1 to 4 major hurricanes." Though "near-normal" is the most likely scenario, there is also a 30 percent chance of an "above-normal" season.
The right travel insurance policy can provide protection from storm-related disruptions. For example, plans may include coverage if:
- Severe weather or natural disaster causes the extended shutdown of air, cruise or other common carriers.
- The hotel or resort at the destination becomes uninhabitable due to severe weather or natural disaster.
- A trip delay causes travelers to lose more than 50% of a scheduled trip.
- A mandatory evacuation is ordered by a local government at the trip destination.
Since coverage can vary by provider and plan, travelers should always refer to a plan's detailed description of coverage prior to purchase.
