According to Weather.com, this year’s hurricane season is poised to be the most active season yet, with a projected 23 storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 of at least a Category 3 to affect the Atlantic Coast this summer. Travelers must brace themselves as these unpredictable storms approach and present the risk for potential disruptions to their plans, such as canceled flights, medical emergencies, travel delays and more. Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (BHTP) offers the most comprehensive coverage to assist in mitigating the impact of potential trip disturbances and ensure a smoother travel experience during hurricane season. 

BHTP’s ExactCare® provides travelers protection when a trip is canceled or cut short by weather disasters, with reimbursements for nonrefundable travel expenses and costs incurred to return home early. ExactCare® can even help cover additional expenses such as hotels and meals, in the event of trip extensions or cancellations due to emergent weather conditions such as hurricanes.

 Additional benefits include: 

• Trip cancellation up to $100,000
• Trip interruption up to $150,000
• Travel delays up to $1,000
• Missed connections up to $500

Once a storm is named, travelers can no longer be covered for storm-related claims, so once a trip is booked travelers should also purchase a travel insurance plan. For cruise vacations, BHTP also offers a cruise-specific travel insurance, WaveCare® which combines general travel protection with additional benefits including a cruise disablement benefit, cruise interruption, and cancellation insurance.
