Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.

• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.

• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
