The UK Insurance Blog

It is a fact, about 7 million British adults have never ventured abroad on holiday! I’ve just read this interesting article by the people at Sainsbury’s Travel Insurance who are pressing the point that people should still take out holiday cover when enjoying a break in England. If you have your holiday at home, it’s a common misconception that people tend to think you don’t need to worry about travel insurance. Accidents happen at home too, don’t they, not to mention theft, travelling delays and lost luggage.

UK holidaymakers account for fifty million of the holidays (whether mini-breaks or weekends by the sea) that are taken in Great Britain, people are realising, there’s more to a holiday than wasting time queuing up at airports and deciphering menus in strange exotic languages. The problems that can happen abroad can happen here too so the Travel Insurance people at Sainsbury’s Finance have a point when they state that domestic holidaymakers should not overlook the value of sufficient insurance cover. Unforeseeable events that can ruin a holiday can include holiday cancellation due to illness or worse, theft and lost property. Every year, British holidaymakers in the millions will make claims on their travel insurance. If you are ill on holiday, travel insurance will ensure you receive the care and attention that is needed such as after your treatment returning you to your home safely. If in doubt of whether you will need travel insurance this year. Sit yourself down with a piece of paper and write down all the things that could go wrong. With the gift of hindsight, what would we choose, sleepless nights or peace of mind ?.
