As Vacation Rental Risks Rise, Trawick International Launches “Stay Secure” to Protect Travelers Where It Matters Most

New plan built specifically for short-term rentals addresses cancellations, and travel disruptions across North America

MIAMI, FL — [May 13, 2026] — Trawick International today announced the launch of Stay Secure, a new protection plan designed specifically for vacation rental travelers across North America one of the fastest-growing and least protected segments in travel.

As more travelers choose private homes, condos, and short-term rentals over traditional hotels, the risks have shifted but most protection options have not. Stay Secure is designed to close that gap.

From strict cancellation policies and large upfront payments to travel delays that impact check-in, Stay Secure focuses on the real-world scenarios travelers are navigating today.

“Vacation rentals have fundamentally reshaped how people plan and experience travel, but protection hasn’t evolved at the same pace,” said Bailey Foster, Senior Vice President of Travel Insurance at Trawick International. “Stay Secure is built to close that gap, offering protection that reflects how trips are actually booked today, where flexibility is expected, but financial exposure is often higher than ever.”

Built for the Reality of Vacation Rentals

Unlike traditional travel insurance plans designed around flights and hotels, Stay Secure is tailored to the unique risks tied to vacation rental bookings, including:

  • Coverage for non-refundable rental costswhen plans change unexpectedly, Cancel For Any Reason helps protect large upfront payments tied to strict cancellation policies
  • Trip delay benefits when travel disruptions impact check-in, including additional expenses if you arrive late or miss part of your stay
  • Uninhabitable or inaccessible rental protection due to covered weather events
  • Trip interruption coverage if your stay is cut short, Interruption For Any Reason helps recoup a portion of the trip missed
  • Baggage and personal item protection during your trip
  • 24/7 travel assistance services to support travelers before and during their stay
  • A straightforward purchase experience designed for how travelers’ book today

Plus, distinctive coverages such as vehicle disablement, pet medical expenses, lost golf rounds, and kennel fees. Alongside expanded cancellation and interruption protections, Stay Secure reflects a more relevant, modern standard for vacation rental guests, designed for today and built for what comes next.

Meeting a Rapidly Growing Need The rise of short-term rental platforms has transformed travel across North America, but many travelers remain unaware of the financial risks tied to these bookings, especially when plans change or something goes wrong after arrival.

Stay Secure is designed to complement the booking experience, offering clear, easy-to-understand protection that can be purchased quickly and confidently.

Built for Today’s Traveler

Stay Secure is designed to meet how people actually book today. High-value trips, larger groups, and vacation rentals with stricter terms. It gives partners a simple, ready-to-offer solution and better booking experience.

  • Designed for higher upfront, non-refundable travel costs common in vacation rentals
  • Covers real-world scenarios travelers care about
  • Simple, benefit-forward structure that’s easy to understand and explain
  • Backed by Trawick International’s global service and support infrastructure

“Travelers are asking for better, clearer protection for the trips they’re actually taking,” said Gina Rodriguez, Business Development Manager at Trawick International. “Stay Secure was built with that in mind. It’s straightforward, relevant, giving customers the kind of coverage they expect without overcomplicating the experience.”
