Protect Your Vacation: Travel Insurance

Life is unpredictable and vacations are worth protecting. You’ve planned. You’ve looked forward to your vacation for months. But, unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go according to plan. What if you or a loved one gets sick before you leave for your trip? What if you need medical treatment while traveling? What if a rain storm closes the highway or your car breaks down on the way?

Salt & Sand Realty has partnered with RentalGuardian.com and InsureStays to help safeguard your entire booking deposit and other pre-paid non-refundable payments related to planned travel. We strongly encourage you to purchase optional travel insurance.

Travel Insurance covers risks incidental to planned travel such as sickness, accidental injury, or death of you or a family member (or of a traveling companion), weather delays, natural disasters, unexpected changes in your employment, and many more specified reasons.
