Holiday insurance protects potential mishaps
Thu, 15 Jun 2006
It is estimated that around 2.5 million trips each year do not go according to plan and having holiday insurance could help to minimise any such mishaps.
The Daily Mail reports that lost luggage, severely delayed flights as well as hotel construction works and food poisoning could make two weeks away a very stressful and expensive period.
However, purchasing holiday insurance before leaving the UK could help to offset any unexpected problems especially expensive medical treatment costs.
A survey from Holiday Which? concluded that one in ten people will fall ill or be involved in an accident whilst on holiday each year, with two in five suffering from an upset stomach. The growing cost of medical treatment means that any medical advice could prove costly.
Many European travellers will rely on the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but are not aware that this does not cover all circumstances and may offer very limited treatment options.
However, shopping around for the most competitive holiday insurance should help to ensure that any unexpected problems are dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
