Summer is the season for traveling and exploring the world, but in the age of COVID-19, your travel plans can easily change. That’s why you should always buy travel insurance when you book a vacation rental. These insurance plans provide numerous benefits that ensure your travel plans are always covered.

What Are Some Reasons to Purchase Travel Insurance?

1. Cancellation Coverage

Vacation rentals, airlines, and event venues are constantly having to adjust their business strategy in response to the coronavirus pandemic. That means the travel plans you made months ago can change with little notice.

When you don’t have travel insurance, you lose your investment. With a coverage plan, you are reimbursed for the full cost if your trip is canceled.

2. Medical Funds

Medical expenses while traveling can be very expensive because medical providers won’t always accept your insurance plan. So if something happens to you while traveling that requires medical attention, you have to pay large sums of money out of pocket.

With a travel insurance plan, the provider covers the costs associated with medical travel, hospital procedures, and medication, so you can get the care you need without affecting your budget.

3. Travel Delay Reimbursements

Whether it’s the coronavirus pandemic, adverse weather, or technical difficulties, there are a variety of reasons why your travel plans can be altered with little to no notice. Missing one flight can have a chain reaction that causes you to miss another flight or your check-in to the rental property.

Without travel insurance, you’ll have to pay to change the plans mid-trip. When you have coverage, those costs are covered by the provider.

4. Luggage Protection

Vacation RentalIt’s not uncommon for luggage to be lost or damaged during a trip, and that can disrupt all of your travel plans.

Travel insurance provides  peace of mind that your vacation won’t be derailed, and you won’t be hit with unexpected costs. The insurance provider will reimburse you for the costs associated with replacing anything that was lost or damaged in transit.

5. Constant Support

Most travel insurance providers have a 24/7 customer support line, so you always have access to any help that you need. If you have to file a claim, need help finding medical providers, or are in need of translation services, your provider’s hotline can provide you with the help you need when you need it.
