A family cottage rental booked last summer, arrived safely and just loved the cottage. However, the second day of their two week stay, the mother received a phone call saying that her father was seriously ill and not expected to live. The family pack up and went home, and unfortunately, his father died a few days later. After the funeral, when the tenant to the landlord and asked what they could expect a refund, since it only had 2 days of their 14 days of posting. The owner refused to payReimbursement for the fact that to pay for the cottage rental income, the cost of their hut and it was always sold out for the season. She was not able to find a replacement holiday rental last minute and to explain the lease, if that's the case, the money must be repaid. Of course the rental group is not to have travel insurance, which is likely to travel restrictions due to disease and / or death of a close relative. TheRental cost the family about $ 4000 and were not able to recover a cent for the money.

Many people believe that travel insurance is only required when a flight is involved, which is covered by a delay, lost baggage, and the risk of failure of the airline, and insurance is required in a foreign country. Is not so important to apply or not to purchase insurance for a trip on the way to self-catering property in the same province or just take coverCountry.

Think again! Most cottage bookings are made could happen for several months in advance you book and many things to change the circumstances. Diseases of every party member, redundancy or a call to jury service are just some of the situations that would be covered by travel insurance. Some insurance companies also offer a "change of mind clause" so that have been made to cancel for any reason after a bookingpaid in full. This typically pays for a quantity sufficient for a penalty for the estate agent or owner may apply.

If you book your vacation rental, check the owners or agents of cancellation carefully. If it is not clear, ask yourself the question. In general, most home owners and rental agencies to try to make a property if the reprogramming of its suppression, and you have your money for the period rebooked, less a cancellation fee.

The premium paidfor travel insurance becomes less important, the more you pay, but is useful at any price, for your safety.
