I make no excuse in repeating myself. If you can’t afford decent travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel. There is no excuse to go on holiday without travel insurance.
We always think “it will never happen to me” and the last thing you want to think about is what can go wrong? But it is not always straightforward when something happens even when taking a quick trip to UK.
If you have a personal accident or are taken ill and you have an EHIC, you may receive free medical treatment. But what about the other costs such as additional accommodation costs for your travelling companion, cancellation of any ongoing trips or your return flight, and crucially, the cost for getting you home when you are fit enough to travel? The cost of Repatriation by Air or Road Ambulance will certainly make your eyes water!
What if your flight is delayed because of bad weather, industrial action or breakdown of your aircraft, train or ship? Or you miss your flight because of delay in public transport, or the vehicle taking you to the airport breaks down?
Consider the additional costs involved if your passport is lost, stolen or damaged, if your airline goes bust. Your baggage gets put on the wrong flight, or it is lost or stolen. The staff in you hotel go on strike.
How about the cost of Cancelling or cutting short your holiday because you or your travelling companion in unwell? Or if a close relative, business associate or someone you have planned to stay with becomes ill?
