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. Click here for more information from Red Sky.

The cost is 6.9% and this amount will be indicated on your lease. The fee is due with your first payment and is non-refundable. We include trip insurance automatically with your reservation. However, the insurance is optional and if you do not wish to purchase it you must initial and decline the coverage on the front page of the lease, in the area that is clearly designated.

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

• 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:
