Travel risks mean life insurance a must

Date: Wed, 04 May 2005

People planning a holiday should also consider ensuring they have adequate life insurance cover.

Price comparison website insuresupermarket.com is urging travellers to consider their insurance when booking a trip and, at the very least, they should ensure they have completed an E111 form.

"If you do nothing else, ensuring you have a valid E111 form is a good start to obtaining medical treatment abroad should you need it," said Richard Mason, director of insuresupermarket.com.

"However, since the E111 only covers treatment provided under the country's state scheme … it should not be seen as a substitute for a comprehensive insurance policy."

Holiday-makers should also make sure that they keep their travel and insurance documents in a safe place and be able to access them quickly if they need to claim.
