Travel Insurance Quotes

 

If you go abroad, not only are you leaving the UK behind, but you are leaving a lot of home comforts that you may take for granted here. That’s why you should never leave the UK without travel insurance, whether travelling abroad for a booze cruise, a holiday or a business trip, travel insurance is an essential travel companion.

 

How does travel insurance protect me?

Travel insurance provides you with an insurance policy that looks after you in a number of ways. The most important way in which travel insurance will provide you with protection is in the form of medical bills cover. In the UK we take the NHS for granted. A world class health service, offered free of charge to all residents in the UK with a fixed address. If the worst happens, we can just pop to the doctors or hospital and get free treatment.

 

When you leave the UK, this all changes, and even in Europe, where your EHIC card provides you with basic care, you could still be liable for medical costs should you fall ill or get injured. Further afield, there is often no national health service, and everyone has to pay for their own healthcare. With costs of over £100 for stitches, over £10,000 for an operation on a broken bone and costs of over £100,000 for a week spent in intensive care, medical bills can be frighteningly expensive. Your travel insurance policy will provide you with the cover you need. Your travel insurance policy will also protect your belongings when you go abroad. If your bags or luggage are lost or stolen, you can claim the cost of the contents back through your travel insurance policy.

will also pay compensation should your flight be severely delayed or cancelled, and will reimburse costs should you have to organise alternative travel home or your own accommodation while you wait.

 

Types of travel insurance
Travel insurance is offered in many different forms, with both single trip and multi trip policies offered to a range of locations. The best way to work out the best policy for you is to work out how often you will be travelling abroad, whether you are likely to need to pop abroad for the odd day, and where you will be going. If you are just spending a week in Spain, and won’t go abroad the rest of the year then a single trip Europe policy, the cheapest kind will suit you. If you are going on more than one trip abroad in the year, then the chances are a multi trip policy will be more suitable for you.
