Warning! Holidays abroad can be full of hot air!
The credit crunch has a lot to answer for! According to the article “When holiday interruption pays insurance claims” many people would rather go on holiday in a hurricane zone than in their favourite Costa Brava/del Sol location. More than ever before we are witnessing a trend of people preferring to climb aboard the long haul to taste the delights of a more exotic location.
The worst that can happen to a holidaymaker in Spain is to have your sun lounger nicked even though you’d marked your territory while the delights of the Caribbean do tend to be marred by the occasional tropical hurricane.
Looking on the positive side, the hurricane season is very brief and the chance of finding yourself on holiday during a bout of severe weather is very remote. On the negative side, if you do wish to cancel your holiday because of severe weather your travel insurance will have very strict limitations regarding the payout of a claim. A call to your insurer will provide the answers to any questions you might have as forewarned is forearmed!
Happy holidays!
