TRAVEL PROTECTION INSURANCE

Ocracoke Island Realty has partnered with Red Sky Travel Insurance to provide Trip Preserver® coverage for our guests. Trip Preserver provides trip insurance, emergency assistance and travel services, hurricane evacuations and family emergencies such as illness or death in the family. The Vacation Rental Agreement you will receive will automatically include this optional plan. More information from Red Sky.

The cost is 7.95% of your total rent, and this amount will be indicated on your lease. The fee is due with your first payment and is non-refundable. Travel insurance is optional. You will be prompted to accept or decline the coverage on the reservation checkout page.

We recommend purchasing travel insurance with your initial deposit as coverage restrictions may apply when purchasing after your first payment. Trip insurance cannot be purchased after your reservation is paid in full.

We strongly urge you to consider this insurance when planning your Outer Banks vacation. NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR HURRICANE EVACUATIONS WITHOUT TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE.

 Trip Preserver® from Red Sky covers trip cancellation or interruption due to:

•  A named hurricane or other natural disaster
• Uninhabitability of the destination vacation home caused by a natural disaster
• Uninhabitability of your primary residence or your traveling companion’s primary residence caused by natural disaster
• Sickness, injury or death of you, a family member or traveling companion

Also included:

• 24 hour worldwide travel assistance
• Identity theft recovery assistance
