Can you cancel your holiday to America if the beach is covered in oil?


Recommended Posts

Oil is starting to affect Florida beaches. If you have a holiday booked there can you cancel and expect to get a refund?

 

 

Anyhow why do so many Brits book holidays to America :confused: there's Americans there you know :hihi:

Probably not. Most holiday insurance policies cover everything other than what has actually happened. I don't know how they get away with it but it always seems to be the case.

i wouldnt go to america for holiday if it was the last place on earth, how can that be called a civilised country, when anyone is allowed to carry a gun

The fact that violent crime per 100,000 is much lower in the USA than it is in the UK would probably disagree with that statement you make.

It isn't a case of an insurance claim. People are cancelling the holiday because the company cannot guarantee to deliver what is in the brochure. If you book a beach holiday and the beach isn't there, you are entitled to a refund.

I note that several of our popular holiday destinations are rather higher on the league of counties with most murders. I wonder how many took this in to consideration when heading for the world cup?
