ST.
PETERSBURG, Fla., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2024 hurricane season
is off to a record-breaking start, with Category 5 Hurricane Beryl
leaving a trail of destruction across the Caribbean Sea and Mexican
Gulf.
With this hurricane season forecasted to be the most active in
history, travel insurance comparison site, Squaremouth, explains
the 2 most important things travelers should know about insurance
coverage for hurricanes.
Once A Storm is Named, It's Too Late To Buy Travel
Insurance
Travel insurance is only designed to cover the
unforeseen. Once a storm is named, you can no longer buy a policy
that covers that storm. If you are concerned about a hurricane or
storm impacting your trip, or visiting hurricane-prone destinations
before November 1, buy a policy with
Hurricane & Weather benefit as soon as possible.
Save Money on Travel Insurance For Hurricanes
While
it can be difficult to plan around the unpredictability of storm
trajectories, buying early and buying the least expensive policy
with the coverage you need can be easy.
The biggest factor that impacts the premium of a travel
insurance policy is the insured trip cost. When buying a policy,
you can choose to insure all or just some of your expenses.
Many accommodations are refundable up until a certain point
right before the trip. Up until this point, only insure that amount
to make your policy less expensive upfront. When those expenses
become non-refundable, you can add them to your policy. At that
point, if the storm is no longer a threat, you can decide whether
or not to insure all of your trip expenses
Squaremouth's Hurricane Travel Insurance Resource is updated
with advice for travelers answers to the most common questions
about coverage for storms.
