Hurricane waiver cover from Disney Getaway
Rentals
We
understand that guests can sometimes be
concerned about the prospect of a hurricane
ruining a vacation to Florida. We really don't
want to worry you any further.
Disney Getaway Rentals wants you to
be confident that you can book your vacation
home from us, and know that you will still get
the vacation you paid for, whatever the weather
throws at us.
Disney Getaway Rentals has created the
Hurricane Waiver to protect your booking of our
rented accommodation and it is
free of charge
and is
automatically applied to your booking.
It
really is quite simple - if a
hurricane
warning is issued for the county in which
you are staying by the
National Hurricane Center
either within 48 hours prior to your arrival, or
during your stay, you can postpone your
reservation by up to 12 months (see detailed
terms below)

In
Florida, residents accept hurricanes as seasonal
nuisance. Recently we see that every year the
weather men predict high numbers, and sometimes
they are right - but most times they
over-estimate the numbers and severity.
Hurricanes are extreme forces of nature, and
Disney Getaway Rentals has specific policies
in place to warn and protect its guests, the
properties we manage, and our employees and
offices.
Disney Getaway Rentals has years of
operational experience of providing continued
support through hurricane emergencies. |

Your
dates of stay must be between "the hurricane
season", June 1st and November 20th.
▪
Your

▪
The

▪ If applied,
you must re-book your reservation (or partial

Disney Getaway
Rentals hurricane waiver will apply under the
following circumstances:
-
The
National Hurricane Center must have issued a Hurricane
Warning in the county where the
vacation home you have rented is located.
All of the vacation homes offered are in
Lake, Orange, Osceola, or Polk counties. If
the county has not had a hurricane warning
issued, then the waiver will not apply.
The warning must be issued within 48 hours
prior to your arrival, and/or up to 48 hours
before your departure for the
waiver to be applied. This means that if the
National Hurricane Center issues a warning on the day before
your departure, the hurricane waiver will
not apply.
If
the
National Hurricane Center issues a "Hurricane Watch" - the
waiver will not apply.
You must call, email or fax the office of
Disney Getaway Rentals to confirm that
you are requesting the waiver be applied, at
which time the operator will confirm if it
can be, based on information provided by the
National Hurricane Center.
Disney Getaway Rentals hurricane waiver will
not apply to reservations for arrivals
between November 21st and May 31st each
year.
A "Hurricane
Warning" is a specific term and event
issued by the
National Hurricane Center.
A Hurricane Warning is issued when (and
defined by the
National Hurricane Center as)
"A
warning that sustained winds 64 kt (74 mph
or 119 km/hr) or higher associated with a
hurricane are expected in a specified area
in 24 hours or less. A hurricane warning can
remain in effect when dangerously high water
or a combination of dangerously high water
and exceptionally high waves continue, even
though winds may be less than hurricane
force."
