Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?

• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
