We are planning on renting a house in Alabama. Which trip cancellation plans will cover us if the beaches are fouled with oil?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill following the April 20, 2010 explosion on the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit Deepwater Horizon is a man-made disaster. Unfortunately, man-made disasters are not a covered reason to cancel or interrupt your trip.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the only kind of trip cancellation plan you can get that will cover you at all is one with the “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage<\/a>. Keep in mind that it’s a “Cancel For Any Reason” and not “Interrupt For Any Reason” plan. Click here to learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means that you must cancel your trip, for a reason that’s not covered, more than two days (some plans) or fortyeight hours (other plans) prior to Your Scheduled Departure Date. Depending on which plan you get, you will receive a maximum of 75% or 80% of the money you lose at the time you cancel your trip. <\/p>\n
