Hurricane Season 2025: Help Protect Your Guests and Vacation Rentals With Confidence

Dream vacations are planned with visions of sunshine and relaxation. Yet in coastal destinations like the Carolinas, hurricane season often brings unwelcome surprises. While travelers rarely expect a storm to derail their plans, preparing in advance can make a major difference for both guests and vacation rental managers.

By offering travel protection, you not only help safeguard your business but also help provide guests with the confidence that they won’t be left to handle disruptions on their own. Generali Global Assistance’s plans include coverage for weather-related events that could impact your guests’ reservations during hurricane season.

How Generali Global Assistance Supports Your Guests

Mandatory Evacuations
If authorities require an evacuation due to a hurricane or natural disaster, covered guests may be reimbursed for the vacation days lost.

Flight Disruptions
Storms can lead to delays and cancellations that interrupt travel plans. Travel protection may offer coverage when guests have to cancel or cut trips short because of these disruptions.

Damage to a Guest’s Home
Sometimes the storm hits at home, not at the rental. If a guest’s residence becomes uninhabitable, coverage may help them recoup prepaid, nonrefundable costs.

Inaccessible Destination
If roads to your rental are closed for the amount of hours specified in the plan due to severe weather, travel protection may help reimburse your guests’ trip costs.

Loss of Essential Services
Extended water, electricity, or gas outages for the amount of hours specified in the plan, may make a stay unworkable. In these situations, coverage may provide reimbursement for your guests’ trip costs.

Uninhabitable Rental Property
If your property is damaged and can’t be used, travel protection may ease the financial and emotional burden for both you and your guests. Our Seaside Coastal Travel Protection Plan includes specific coverage for these scenarios.
