Avoid the unexpected expense and hassle if your holiday doesn’t quite go to plan by arranging your travel insurance once you’ve booked your holiday.
Holiday insurance is designed to protect you from those unexpected occurrences that could impact you, either before or during your holiday. Holiday insurance, or travel insurance as it is also known, can cover a range of unforeseen expenses, including insolvency of an airline or accommodation provider, medical expenses, lost luggage, delays or cancellations.
What types of holiday insurance are available?
Because the way we travel has evolved significantly since the introduction of the package holiday, various different types of holiday insurance exist to suit people’s individual needs. Today, holiday insurance could be:
For those who are travelling for a wedding, golf trip or adventure activities, upgrades to your holiday insurance are also available to cover for those unforeseen circumstances.
What does holiday insurance cover?
What holiday insurance covers will vary from policy to policy but, in the majority of cases, holiday insurance should cover you for cancellation or curtailment of your holiday, personal liability whilst you are overseas, lost or stolen goods, most medical expenses and repatriation if medically necessary or following a fatal incident.
Your holiday insurance will cover cancellation or curtailment of your holiday if you are unable to travel because of an unforeseen circumstance, such as a family bereavement, illness or burglary. For this reason it is important to arrange your travel insurance at the same time as you book your holiday to ensure that you are able take advantage of this cover.
Medical expenses cover is also an important part of any holiday insurance policy, particularly if you are travelling in countries that do not have universal healthcare. Even if you are travelling within the EU with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), it is important to have holiday insurance as the EHIC will not necessarily allow you to access free health treatment.
