Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance basics

Whether you are flying, driving, or sailing, proper travel insurance is as essential as a passport. No one likes to think that things will go wrong but, unfortunately, sometimes they do. You could miss your flight or ferry, lose your baggage or money, or become ill or injured while you are abroad. Travel insurance can help you deal with these emergencies. For many people it enables them to continue their holidays. For those that have to curtail their holidays because of illness or injury, they have the peace of mind that they will receive the treatment they need and if necessary be brought home.

Your travel agent may recommend a particular insurance company to provide your travel insurance. However, you are not bound to accept the cover they offer-despite what you may be told by travel agents who use high-pressure sales tactics-and you might be able to save yourself money by buying a policy elsewhere. Increasingly these days, you will find that travel insurance is offered in some major retail outlets, banks and building societies, as well as being available direct from insurance companies and through insurance brokers. Whatever insurance policy you decide to buy, you should carefully examine the benefits and levels of cover that are offered.
