Traveling during hurricane season, which spans from June to November, can be both thrilling and precarious.
To mitigate risks and ensure peace of mind, many travelers opt for travel protection. This type of insurance offers various benefits that can prove invaluable during hurricane season.
Travel protection typically includes coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, allowing reimbursement for prepaid, non-refundable expenses if your plans are disrupted due to covered reasons. Some plans offer a Cancel for Any Reason option, providing flexibility to cancel your trip for weather concerns or other non-covered reasons. If you experience delays due to a hurricane, travel protection can cover necessary expenses like meals and accommodation.
In case of medical emergencies, travel protection often includes coverage for medical expenses and evacuation. Additionally, many plans offer non-insurance assistance services, providing 24/7 support for various travel-related issues.

Keep your electronic devices charged and stay informed about the situation through local alerts.
Should a hurricane impact your travel plans, contact your travel protection provider promptly for guidance. Document all expenses related to trip changes and stay in touch with your travel suppliers. Always prioritize your safety by following local instructions and evacuation orders.

In the southwestern curve of that circle sit Milos, Sifnos and Serifos, three Aegean islands that share a stark, wild beauty owing in part to the minerals that made them mining hubs well into the last century.
