Millions of business trips not properly covered

Up to four million business trips could be made without adequate insurance this year, according to new research.

Many people who travel on business wrongly assume that they are automatically covered by their employers or by their own Travel Insurance policies.

In fact only around half of consumer Travel Insurance policies currently on the market offer a business travel package of any kind.

Michael Liddell, Sainsbury's Bank, which conducted the survey, said employers and employees should check before they travel.

Business travellers should "make sure that they are covered under their own personal Travel Insurance policy extending it for business travel if need be", he added.
