Airline & Holiday Information

Many people who go on holiday may not consider travel insurance as important.  However, if you had an accident abroad and needed hospital treatment, then you may be surprised to know that without insurance you will need to fork out the entire cost of the treatment from your own pocket.  How much treatment can you afford?

It is not only medical expenses that are covered by travel insurance.  What would you do if you lost your luggage, passport, or spending money?  What about if the holiday was cancelled by the company you booked with or the airline?  Most insurers will cover these things.  In addition, you will also receive coverage to any claims made against you by third parties and assistance with legal costs to deal with any issues that may happen to you or your family while you are on holiday.  It can cost about £25 per week for holiday insurance.  This can give you and your family peace of mind when you next go on holiday.

You are likely to be familiar with other types of insurance and the need to check the details of what is covered and what is not.  There may also be an excess to pay before the insurer can assess your claim.  You may be able to get basic insurance cheaper online than through your travel agent.  You may also be able to tailor your requirements to get a premium that closely manages the type of holiday you are embarking upon.  If you are going on a ski holiday, then check if the insurance policy covers your equipment.  If you prefer more risky activities while abroad, like bungee jumping or jet skiing, then check your policy to ensure you are covered for these.
