Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
