TRAVEL AND LEISURE CLOSE-UP-11 June 2008-InsureMyTrip.com Says Travel Insurance Is Helpful During Hurricane Season(C)2008 - CloseUpMedia - newsdesk@closeupmedia.com

With hurricane season gearing up, travel insurance is an investment that can offer peace-of-mind protection against severe weather,

reports InsureMyTrip.com

"The first step to protecting your travels during hurricane season is to always plan ahead," advises Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com, the leading online travel insurance comparison site. Trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the unexpected happening. So you want to purchase coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is on the weather map.

"Equally as important, travelers should know that coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differ significantly by company and plan," continues Grace. The coverage spectrum includes:

-- Weather Cancellation: when common carriers such as airlines and cruise lines stop travel to a particular destination due to weather

-- Cancellation due to Hurricane Warning: cancellation of your trip if your destination is under a NOAA-issued hurricane warning

-- Destination made Uninhabitable: if your hotel, resort, or vacation rental is devastated by a storm

-- Primary Residence made Uninhabitable: your own home sustains destructive storm damage

-- Cancel for Any Reason - an optional benefit that allows you to choose whether or not to cancel.

InsureMyTrip.com is an online travel insurance aggregator worldwide.
