Tourism for All has advised disabled travellers to make sure they have the right type of insurance before they go abroad to ensure they are covered in the event of something going wrong.
Brian Seaman, head of consultancy at the charity, said holidaymakers with disabilities should find out whether any equipment they use, such as wheelchairs, is covered by their insurance policy while they are on a break in another country, or whether they will need to extend their cover plan.
In related news, esure recently advised travellers jetting off for an action-packed trip abroad to make sure they check the detail of their insurance policy before they leave.
Mike Pickard, head of travel insurance at esure, commented: “With a surge in the popularity of…more adventurous sports…it’s crucial for holidaymakers to take out travel insurance and check they’re covered before they try out the likes of white water rafting in Australia or shark-feeding in the Bahamas.”
