I Don’t Need Travel Insurance - Do I?
Following on from my post on How to Save Money on Travel Insurance, I thought I would share with you an article that Nolan Mortimer, who heads the Travel and Tourism Department at Colemans-CTTS Solicitors, wrote on why you need travel insurance.
He writes:
“It is estimated that about 10 million UK travellers fail to get insured. The reasons given for not getting insured are varied, from “I’m only visiting family, I will be okay” to “I don’t need it, I’m only going on a short break”.
This can be a very costly mistake.
A recent study suggests that many people have to change or cancel their holiday plans. Often your holiday company will charge you for this, or you may forfeit the whole holiday cost.
It is thought that in the UK as much as £6 billion per year could be saved if people took out travel insurance when they first booked their holiday, or perhaps if they had an annual policy. If they did, they would be able to recover some or all of the costs of a cancelled holiday.
It becomes much more expensive when you are already on holiday and something goes wrong.”
