At Seaside Vacations, we know how much time and money goes into planning the perfect Outer Banks getaway. From booking your dream vacation rental to mapping out beach days and family fun, the last thing you want is for unexpected events to derail your trip—or your wallet. That’s where Red Sky® Travel Insurance with Trip Preserver™ comes in.
Travel insurance isn’t just for hurricanes. It’s protection for life’s “what ifs.”
What Is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is like a safety net for your vacation investment. If something unexpected happens before or during your trip—like a sudden illness, work emergency, or weather-related travel delays—Red Sky® Trip Preserver™ helps reimburse you for prepaid, non-refundable expenses.
Whether you’re renting a weeklong beach house or planning a short Outer Banks stay, travel insurance gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.
Why Choose Travel Insurance?
Most people associate vacation insurance with hurricanes—but it covers so much more.
Here are some common real-life reasons guests use Red Sky® Travel Insurance:
Mandatory evacuations (due to hurricanes or other natural disasters)
Illness or injury—even if it affects a family member staying home
Job loss or unexpected work conflicts
Family emergencies before or during your trip
Trip delays due to airline or weather disruptions
Lost, delayed, or damaged baggage
Think of travel insurance as a backup plan that protects your beach plans and your bank account.
