NEW YORK and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3, 2017 — Generali Global Assistance’s Travel Insurance division, CSA Travel Protection, today issued the following statement regarding the ongoing power outage situation that is affecting travelers in the Outer Banks area of North Carolina as it relates to its insurance policies for the vacation rental space.
“This is a man-made event of unprecedented scope and duration that is adversely impacting a significant number of families’ vacation plans and, as a result, finances. We understand the frustration that this is causing for many travelers and we want to ensure our policy holders that we are covering this event due to the mandatory evacuation that is still in place and has cancelled, interrupted, or delayed people’s travel plans in the area.
We want to alert our vacation rental policy holders that if they have incurred financial losses and have not received compensation by their vacation rental companies or property owners, they can submit a claim by visiting our website or by calling our dedicated hotline at 800-816-9454.
We are keenly aware of how important summer vacations are to our customers. Thus, we encourage you to keep up to date on the status of the evacuation order to determine if proceeding with your vacation is feasible.”
