Going abroad
By buying travel insurance you can make sure that your holiday is going to be as stress-free as possible. If something goes wrong while you away from home, you want to make sure that you can deal with it, as quickly and efficiently as possible. A wisely chosen travel policy will assist you in achieving this goal. Buying travel insurance is an essential part of your preparation, although it involves adding to the cost of your holiday at the outset, it could save you a great deal of time and money if any problems should arise. So, where to begin? It is important to shop around when buying your travel insurance. There are a number of different policies on the market offering different levels of cover suitable for different needs. Most insurers will have websites where you can view their policies online. You should make sure that you check both the benefits and the exclusions of a policy before you buy. Some policies may look cheap, but if you check the exclusions or look at the amount of excess you will have to pay if you want to make a claim, they may work out as less cost effective than a policy with a more expensive premium. Investigating the reputation of your insurer before you buy a policy is a good way to ensure that making a claim is likely to be as hassle free as possible. AA Travel Insurance, Go Travel Insurance and 1Stop Travel Insurance are all recommended insurers as members of the Drakefield Insurance Group, which, since its incorporation in 1998, has established itself as a reliable insurer, winning a number of awards. Although all insurers are regulated by the Financial Services Authority, consumer reviews indicate that not all companies are supportive when it comes to making claims.
