Travel insurance a must for holidaymakers

Travel insurance is an absolute must when taking holiday time overseas, specialists have claimed.

InsureandGo, an online broker, claim that trips abroad without the necessary cover are incredibly risky and should be avoided.

Strongly urging all travellers to invest in some sort of cover, Perry Wilson, a spokesperson for InsureandGo, said: “Travel insurance should not be considered a luxury – it is essential for anyone going on holiday.

“We know people lead busy lives and sometimes things are left to the last minute and that’s why we have tried to make travel insurance as easy to buy as possible.”

He added: “Travelling without insurance simply isn’t worth the risk and we hope there is no excuse for not getting round to it.”

Meanwhile Sainsbury’s Bank, also concerned by holidaymakers shunning overseas cover, claimed that the situation was worsened by the strong surge in last minute deals.
