A huge number of lucky England football fans will be looking forward to jetting off to South Africa over the coming weeks to enjoy the excitement of the World Cup, which kicks off in June. Many will already have sorted out their hotels, travel money, flights, and even itineraries.

However, many excited England fans may have forgotten about one very important element of their travel arrangements in the form of their travel . With the possibility of things going wrong even before the trip has started, as well as the risk of something happening whilst they are away, World Cup ticket holders are being advised to ensure that they get their sorted out sooner rather than later.

High Street retail giant Marks & Spencer, which also deals with financial products including insurance, has said that travellers heading off to South Africa for the football should ensure that they prioritise on getting travel insurance cover if they do not have any in place already.

Officials from M&S said that some travellers may find that they have to make a claim on their cover before they have even travelled, and with people having paid out huge sums of money for their trip to see the football those that do not have cover in place could end up losing out big time.

One insurance industry official said: “People get really excited about trips like this, and they spend aged getting their flights and hotels sorted out. However, many overlook the fact that they need travel insurance cover or tend to leave it till the last minute, and this can cause a real problem if a claim has to be made prior to travel.”
