Travel Insurance

Make sure you are covered before you go……..

We hope you are going to have a safe trip but you need to make sure you have adequate insurance.

There are many different policies available on the market – at a minimum you should make sure your cover includes:

-          Medical cover

-          Emergency medical transportation

-          Dental cover

-          Lost or stolen luggage

-          Lost of stolen passport

-          Travel costs in case you have to return home earlier than expected

-          Legal assistance

Depending on what type of trip you are taking, you should also think about additional cover for:

-          Adventure travel

-          Winter sports

-          Rescue (if you are doing any extreme sports)

Why do I need cover?
Firstly it is going to make your friends and family back home feel a lot better!! Although you may feel that it is unnecessary, as with many things in life it is always better to have a “just in case” back up – you might not think it now but travel insurance is probably THE most essential thing that you need for your trip

Remember if anything were to happen, the costs incurred could be many many times more than the insurance policy cost that you paid.

Think before you buy

Make sure the policy you choose covers:

-          The country or countries you are going to

-          The type of activities you will be doing. For example, standard policies will not cover skiing, you need winter sports cover for this

-          Make sure it covers the length of time you will be away – it needs to cover you from Day 1 of your trip right up until you put your feet firmly back down on home soil on the final day.

There are many choices available and prices change daily. Take a look at comparethemarket.com or similar sites on the internet.
