Those people lucky enough to be planning a summer break are being encouraged to make sure they seek out the most appropriate holiday insurance cover.
Many holidaymakers will remember to apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which entitles them to low-cost or free medical treatment whilst on holiday in a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland.
However as the EHIC only provides minimum cover, it is often worth travellers making sure they have an additional holiday insurance cover, especially if they plan to travel further a field or take part in more adventurous pursuits.
Few holiday insurance policies automatically cover dangerous sports and activities such as bungee jumping or water skiing by require additional cover.
Therefore, anyone hoping to increase their summer holiday enjoyment needs to make sure they read the small print on any insurance policy, book with a credit card for added protection and remember to keep all relevant documents that will support any possible claims.
