Going On Holiday? Three Rules To Ensure You Are Properly Covered
If you are going on holiday or even having a mini break somewhere – travel insurance is a must. Many people dont even bother taking out travel insurance, thinking they wont need to claim on it. However, if something goes wrong when you are away from home and you need medical treatment, you could spend out literally thousands of pounds in overseas hospital costs and repatriation. So, rule number one is – get travel insurance! That in itself could save you thousands of pounds!
The second rule is to shop around for it. Many people buy their travel insurance as part of their holiday package, not realising that they can probably get a cheaper policy with the same or even better level of cover elsewhere.
You are not obliged to buy travel insurance from your travel company there are many online specialist sites (such as www.protection-insurance.com or www.uk-travel-insurance-online.co.uk) that have quick and easy access to online quotes and can save you up to 50% on premiums!
Holidaymakers should also be aware that you are not fully protected by the Financial Services Authority...
