HOME EXCHANGE INSURANCE & INTERESTING NEWS

KnowYourTrade is a great site for figuring out which swap club is best for your individual needs. It sounds from a recent email KYT sent out that they have re-vamped for the better:

"Know Your Trade is Transformed!

Our new website (months in the creating) has arrived! Some improvements are:

* All new more detailed ratings and reviews
* Sortable country listings - see which clubs have the most listings in 7 popular countries
* Up to date home exchange news
* New navigation system
* Video tutorials (coming soon)

We think it's a "must see" effort! We'd love to hear what you think!"

CHECtravel is another site that I had input in creating (though I am no longer actively involved). It is sort of a "Better Business Bureau" where home exchangers can find out which clubs -- and swappers -- are on the up-and-up. There are exciting developments at CHECtravel.com as well:

"Wow! Home Exchanger Insurance!

Now you can be assured and be insured of a worry free home exchange with Chectravel! Travel Guard, the world leader in travel insurance, has created a unique home exchange trip coverage plan exclusively for CHECtravel members.

What does it offer?

* Trip cancellation coverage if either you or your exchange partner cancels for covered reasons
* $1500 damage waiver for any breakage you may cause at your exchange partner's abode
* Trip delay, medical and much more
* No deductible
* Reasonable prices starting at just $15 per home exchange (depending on the amount of coverage you need).

Go to CHECtravel and CHEC it out!
Local Experts

UnTours and CHECtravel have come together to offer the home exchanger a unique "neighborhood buddy" service. You will no longer be "a stranger in a strange land" when you arrive in a city where you don't speak the language.

All the local knowledge you'll need for your stay will be just a phone call away with your English speaking "buddy," a local resident who was chosen for you by UnTours because s/he really knows it all. If you would like, the "expert" will even meet with you in person!

Look for the cities where your buddy lives, coming soon to CHECtravel! Got any cities you would like to have on our list? Let us know."

These sound like great innovations and features from two trusted sites. Check them out. Perhaps they can help you rest assured on your next home exchange vacation.
