Travel Insurance - Essential Facts

When you go abroad you face certain risks. Taking out travel insurance will make sure that your time away isn’t ruined by any of the following.

· Medical expenses: If you have to pay for medical care abroad the cost can be colossal. Travel insurance will cover your medical expenses if you do fall ill while you’re away.
· Theft of possessions: This provides cover for all your treasured possessions should they be stolen or accidentally damaged.
· Cover against cancellations: covers the cost of cancellations.

Why do I need it?

Many companies and tour operators will insist on people taking out travel insurance when taking out a holiday.

Tip: Don’t feel that you need to buy your travel insurance from the company that you are buying the holiday from. Generally, holiday companies will be happy as long as the policy you take out offers at least the same coverage as theirs.

How do find the best policy for me?

Don’t just go for the cheapest quote! Think about the value of peace of mind and balance this with cost and coverage of the insurance that you will be looking at. Remember to consider the following factors:
