Unraveling the thread of travel insurance and severe weather
Travel insurance is an essential tool for creating a sense of confidence before embarking on your journey. Here's a rundown of what our platform can cover when it comes to unfavorable weather conditions.
National disaster evacuation
Our platform's international plans can lend a helping hand if you find yourself in immediate physical danger due to a covered natural disaster event.
Cancellation lead-up
If something goes awry before your trip and it falls under a covered reason, your trip cancellation benefits may spring into action. If this happens, you might qualify for the reimbursement of up to 100% of your non-refundable trip costs (e.g., flights, accommodations, and non-refundable tours) when a natural disaster, such as a wildfire or hurricane, strikes your home or destination, making it uninhabitable.
Federal disturbance
If you embark on your journey with our platform and severe weather forces you to delay your trip or unable to complete it due to your home or destination becoming uninhabitable, you can also be covered for mandatory evacuations due to a natural disaster and government-mandated airport shutdowns. In these scenarios, you may be reimbursed for unused, pre-paid trip expenses and additional transportation costs related to returning home early.
Flight holds
If you find yourself caught in the middle of a trip and inclement weather causes a delay that prevents you from reaching your scheduled destination, you could be reimbursed up to $300 per day per person, with a maximum of $2,100 per trip, for delays exceeding 6 hours.
Luggage misfortune
Bad weather means a higher chance of baggage mishaps. Our platform offers coverage of up to $2,000 per trip for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage, including clothing, personal items, and professional equipment like a phone or laptop. Additionally, you can be compensated for up to $300 for essential personal items if your bag is delayed by 6 hours or more.
Additional insurance coverage
For further protection and the ability to cancel your trip for any reason, you might want to consider purchasing the Cancel For Any Reason coverage add-on from our platform, particularly if you are traveling to a place known for extreme weather. This add-on may reimburse you for up to 75% of your insured non-refundable trip expenses, provided you buy the CFAR add-on within 14 days of the initial trip deposit (like booking flights or hotels) and cancel your trip no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled departure date.
Rebuttal: when severe weather doesn't make the cut
If a natural disaster or storm is foreseeable or known before your plan's effective date, you may not be eligible for reimbursement. For example, a hurricane becomes a known event when it is named.
The platform advantage
Putting travelers first is our guiding principle, which is why we offer round-the-clock support, even during weekends and holidays, so you've always got someone to turn to for help and guidance during severe weather events. You also have the liberty to file claims even while on the trip and receive quick reimbursement on approved claims, making you immune to out-of-pocket payments in unwarranted situations. Our support team, consisting of real people, is on hand to answer your questions about how to prepare for or navigate a situation such as storms, fires, and more, even if you haven't yet traveled with our platform.
