Travel Insurance
We highly recommend purchasing coverage through Rental Guardian, not only for peace of mind but as a convenient way to protect your family vacation. During the booking process, guests have the option to select whether or not they would like to include travel insurance. Travel insurance covers many unexpected situations that can arise requiring cancellation, interruption or delay of your travel plans.
Cancellations and refunds must meet the SC insurance law. If you have any questions about travel insurance, you can click on the link below for details.
