Holiday insurance vital for gap-year travellers
Thu, 22 Jun 2006
The end of the school year means that many young people are considering taking a year out before going to university or starting a career.
However, such backpackers are being reminded that holiday insurance is vital for anyone planning a trip overseas to help protect against unforeseen circumstances.
Online financial comparison service Moneysupermarket.com has issued a number of tips to ensure that youngsters make all the necessary financial arrangements before starting their adventure holiday.
"There are certain steps which travellers can take ahead of their venture to ensure they make the most of the financial products available to them," said Stuart Glendinning, managing director of Moneysupermarket.
He added: "Failure to do so could mean having to cut the trip short or being stranded with no money, which could not only be distressing, but also very dangerous."
