Sunquest, Holiday House and Fun Sun Vacations have launched a new travel promotion called “RainCheck,” a weather protection guarantee that entitles the purchaser to a free vacation should it rain for more than half their holiday.
Available on all land-only or package vacations (minimum three nights/maximum 21 nights) to the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Florida and California (some exceptions apply), if it rains half an inch or more in a 24-hour period for at least half of the total number days of a person’s vacation, those who took a RainCheck will get to replace that vacation with another one.
RainCheck costs $39.95 per adult (kids 12 years of age and under are free provided they are sharing with two full-paying adults and those adults have purchased RainCheck).
