- Why Travel Insurance is crucial
- December 11, 2009 | 0 Responses
Are you going on holiday and contemplating whether you should purchase travel insurance? Well we can advise you that it is a very good idea to take out cover. Travel Insurance is a relatively nominal fee in comparison to how much you could be out of pocket if something were to go wrong. It has been suggested that the cost of travel insurance is only approximately 5-7% of the cost of the entire trip.
Estimates show £5million people will holiday in the UK this summer. Majority of campsites, hotels and travel operators will charge a cancellation fee if you had to cancel your holiday due to unforeseen circumstances. Travel Insurance can cover this cost. Can you imagine if you slipped over by the pool and needed hospital attention or lost your suitcase after travelling Europe for three weeks? Again Travel Insurance will cover you in these incidents.
According to the Association of British Insurers people should see travel insurance as a “central integral part of planning any trip overseas.” He also pointed out that cutting back on travel insurance or any insurance to save money is a false economy. If you had a problem on holiday you would end up spending a lot more money than your one off travel insurance payment. The spokesperson for ABI added “you can only think of the consequences of not having some sort of financial protection, for example if you fall ill abroad which particularly in a country outside of Europe where a European Health Insurance Card will not apply.”
