About Travel Insurance

Have you ever had a holiday that has been ruined by illness, an accident, injury, loss of luggage or money, or another unforeseen disaster that has cost you time, cash? A trip that has frankly left you feeling more stressed than you were when you left home? Things go wrong for countless thousands of holiday makers every year. Money and luggage is stolen, flights and ferries are cancelled, and accidents result in hospitalisation and relatives who are needed at the bedside of the invalid, have to fly out at great expense. Repatriation if you are injured abroad is very costly. From Normandy for example, even an air ambulance consisting of a small, prop aircraft, will cost around £2500. From San Francisco, a jet ambulance aircraft may cost about £35,000 especially if a medical escort is required.

If you have travel insurance these circumstances and more will almost certainly be covered.
Whether your trip is for business or pleasure, typical travel insurance will cover you for the costs involved in accidental injury, illness, loss or theft of money and baggage and cancellation of flights or bookings in circumstances beyond your control. It is also a fact that most airlines these days will not let you fly unless you have valid travel insurance cover. The level of cover doesn’t necessarily have to be excessive. It depends on where you are going and the reason for your trip. In normal circumstances, basic cover for loss of passport and general illness and injury are sufficient. If however you are intending to visit America or intending to ski for instance, you will probably be wise to decide on maximum cover.
Travel insurance is available in many forms. If you know that you will only being taking the one foreign holiday in the year, then ‘single trip travel insurance’ will probably be suitable for you. You may however, be intending to go overseas on a number of occasions. Therefore annual travel insurance is probably a more cost effective solution. Specialist companies offer tailor made policies to suit individual traveller’s needs. For example backpacker travel insurance, ski travel insurance, business travel insurance and adventure travel insurance policies are available and are designed to provide cover for all the possible eventualities involved in these forms of trip. For the older tourist, ‘over 64’ travel insurance may contain benefits specific to possible problems affecting the more senior travellers. If you are suffering from an existing medical condition, then for an extra premium, it is possible to obtain a ‘pre-existing medical’ insurance policy.
A good policy should provide cover for:

• Medical costs resulting from accident, injury or illness.
• Death cover.
• Legal costs.
• Repatriation from anywhere to which you travel.
• Reimbursement of money or valuables lost or stolen.
• Cancellation of your holiday.

As with all insurance, there are of course exclusions and ceilings on claims. These vary depending on the company providing the policy and the cost of the premium, so check the conditions of the policy carefully.

Ensure that when you travel, you know what to do and how to notify your insurance company in the event of problems. Decide what you need from a policy and select your travel insurance carefully – a good policy can turn a nightmare back into a dream holiday.
