Holiday Adventures

Getting the right cover for trips abroad is as important as packing your passport.

If you are an avid viewer of consumer programs you will be aware of some major issues within the travel insurance market. Certain purveyors of this type of insurance work in an unregulated environment. This has lead to poor advice and customers not being covered by their policies when attempting to make a claim.

The majority of these issues are caused by not advising the insurer of pre-existing medical conditions, either for the travellers themselves or close relatives whose health may affect a decision to travel. If the condition flairs up whilst on holiday, or there is a relapse causing cancellation, you may not be covered if the insurer was not provided with full details.

When setting off on your holidays the thing furthest from your mind is the adequacy of your travel insurance. Before you buy travel insurance from anyone else speak to our resident expert, Julie Fordham on 01223 720 246.
