Trip insurance for a vacation rental typically provides coverage for unexpected events that may disrupt or impact your travel plans. Here's a general overview of how trip insurance works for vacation rentals:

Coverage Types:

● Trip Cancellation: If you have to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, trip insurance may reimburse you for non-refundable trip costs.

● Trip Interruption: If your trip is cut short due to covered reasons, such as a medical emergency or other unforeseen events, trip insurance may reimburse you for the unused portion of your trip.

● Travel Delay: This coverage may provide reimbursement for additional expenses incurred due to covered travel delays, such as accommodation and meals.

Policy Costs:

● The cost of trip insurance varies based on factors such as the coverage amount, trip duration, and the age of the travelers.

Cancellation Policy vs. Trip Insurance:
