8/2018 - Hurricane Lane

by Kellyn Uhelsky | Aug 23, 2018

Travel Insured International has been made aware that on August 22nd, 2018, a Hurricane Watch/Warning statement was issued per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”).  Hurricane Lane has been upgraded to a Category 5 storm as it headed towards Hawaii, making it what could be the first hurricane to make landfall in the state since 1992. While many travel suppliers and airlines are trying to reroute flights, Travel Insured understands those with plans may have questions and they are encouraged to call us.

Depending on your plan, coverages may include benefits for Travel Delay if your trip is delayed, Missed Connection if you are delayed and need help in rejoining your trip, Trip Interruption if your trip is disrupted and Trip Cancellation if there is an evacuation ordered or recommended by local government authorities; or if the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) declared a hurricane warning within 48 hours of your scheduled departure.  As of August 22, 2018, some portions of the Hawaiian Islands are under a warning and some are under a watch.  Please consult the NOAA website for the most up to date information. 

For insured travelers who purchased Cancel for Any Reason coverage, we remind you that cancellations must be made 48 or more hours prior to scheduled departure and payment is limited to 75% of the non-refundable trip cost up to the stated plan maximum limit. Every Travel Insured plan also includes Non-Insurance Emergency Travel Assistance Services available 24/7 to help travelers whenever they are in need of assistance during their trip.

This statement only provides a general summary. Please refer to your actual plan document for the specific terms and conditions of the specific plan purchased as eligibility for coverage varies based upon the specific plan terms, conditions and limitations, and may vary by state or may not be available in all states. Travel Insured recommends travelers purchase proper travel protection plans in case of unforeseen circumstances and to know where to go and where not to go during their travels.
