Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.

• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise.
