Those embarking on a stag and hen party this weekend need to remember to book travel insurance, one financial expert has warned. 
Fairinvestment.co.uk says many brides and grooms-to-be celebrate this weekend due to the Bank Holidays – but revellers travelling abroad need to remember their insurance as the chances of illness and accidents are high.
According to the company, new statistics from Egg reveal that one in five travellers will lose valuable items and without travel insurance these items will not be replaced.
James Caldwell, director of Fairinvestment.co.uk, said that travelling anywhere without insurance “is a risky business”, never mind on a hen or stag do.
“I strongly advise the best man or bridesmaid in charge to make insurance a priority,” he continued.
According to the company, it could cost up to £3,000 to be returned to the UK in an emergency from any of the most popular stag and hen destinations such as, Spain, the Netherlands or France.
Meanwhile, further research from Sainsbury’s Bank said that up to one in ten of Easter holiday makers are expected to travel without insurance.
