Here's what you need to know about getting travel insurance during hurricane season. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Yet while traveling, particularly on cruises, during hurricane season can net you some good deals, that's definitely when you need insurance to protect your investment.. These policies typically cover everything from reimbursements if you miss a connection to refunds if you can't travel because you're sick or hurt, plus any expenses related to lost bags, medical or dental emergencies, disaster evacuations and even costs associated with accidental deaths.
Specifically, look for policies that include advance cancellation, trip interruption and trip delay protection , Carl Unger, contributing editor forBe prepared to pay an average of $164 for a weeklong trip, according to finance research sitethat looked at the top 50 offerings on the market. Policies with the 'Cancel for any reason' feature are the most flexible, but they typically are the most expensive, Unger says.
And you should always read the fine print: Not all policies are set up to handle hurricanes. "You need to figure out what you want covered and look at different policies,"If you're traveling during storm season, you need to buy insurance right when you buy a vacation package or book your trip, Frommer says. And if you don't have it yet, get some "ASAP," Frommer says. Once a major storm is spotted and named, you can't get insurance.
It's not a good idea to buy your insurance directly from the travel site or cruise company, Frommer says. Not only could you end up spending too much, if the tour operator or travel site goes out of business, your insurance policy may be compromised.
