WARWICK, R.I., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- September will mark the mid-point
of the 2008 hurricane season, and as we all watch the developments of Tropical
Storm Fay we're reminded of the disruption these storms bring with them.
Although we can't predict the weather, we can help you plan for its impact.

"If you purchased travel insurance and your trip is impacted by Tropical
Storm Fay, examine the policy or contact us to understand your options,"
advises Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com, the leading online
travel insurance comparison site. "There are several trip cancellation
benefits that will protect your travel investment, depending on the plan you
purchased." Grace recommends checking your policy for these coverages:
-- Cancellation due to Hurricane Warning: Some policies cover cancellation
of your trip if your destination is under a NOAA-issued hurricane warning.
-- Common Carrier Stops Service due to Weather: This benefit protects your
investment when airlines and cruise lines stop travel to a destination due to
severe weather.
-- Destination made Uninhabitable: This covers you if a hurricane or other
natural disaster hits your hotel or vacation rental property and it is no
longer able to accept guests.
-- Cancel For Any Reason: If you selected this option, available on select
plans from several insurance carriers, you choose whether or not you want to
cancel your trip.
"If you are contemplating future travel plans during hurricane season,"
notes Grace, "consider the peace of mind and financial protection offered by
travel insurance." In addition to the trip cancellation provisions mentioned
above, most plans also provide coverage if your primary residence becomes
uninhabitable due to storm damage. Always plan ahead -- travel insurance, like
all insurance, is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events.
