If you are travelling abroad, it is essential that you have travel insurance. It’s something that people will often leave until the last minute, but it’s so important in case something happens to you whilst you are out of the country. It will cover you for things like illnesses, injuries, loss of baggage and flight cancellations. Here are some things to consider in relation to travel insurance:
- Check what it covers. This might mean reading through the small print for a while, but it is important to understand the ins and outs of your travel insurance.
- Calculate the price accurately. It might be best to speak to a travel advisor in person so that they can explain to you in full what the policy entails.
- Check travel advice. If it has been advised that you do not visit certain areas by the government, you may not be covered if you visit them. Know where you are travelling and whether it is safe.
