As such, early check-ins and late check-outs are suspended indefinitely.

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.

Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
