Choosing the best travel insurance



As the UK wallows in the deepest recession for decades, it is morepressing than usual to get the most out of your money and cut back onunnecessary spending. But some things you just cannot justify goingwithout – and travel insurance is definitely one of them.

If youthink it is bad having to pay £30 for something you are unlikely tohave to use, try paying foreign hospital bills running into thousandsof pounds. If you get into difficulties overseas, you might be in for avery tough time. Things like liability for accidents are also an issue,say if you lose control of a vehicle and someone is hurt.

Butthat doesn’t mean you can’t minimise the cost of travel cover. We inthe UK spend more on travel each year than anyone else in Europe, andas you would expect there are an appropriately large number ofinsurance options available.

Picking the most appropriate coverpackage will save you money – and more importantly, paying much less inthe event of an accident abroad. When shopping for your travelinsurance, you might want to consider some of the following options:

SingleTrip Travel Insurance. Naturally, single trip cover is cheaper than anannual or multi-trip policy but would be more expensive should you buytwo single trip policies within a year. But that doesn’t mean this typeof policy can’t go a very long way. An example would be around 6 monthsat a time. And you could do a lot of sightseeing in that time.

AnnualTravel Insurance. If you are intending to travel overseas more thanonce in a year, this kind of coverage is most economical, especially ifyou travel often. There is generally no limit on the number of journeysyou can take, however the length of any single journey may be shorterthan the length under a specific Single Trip policy. An average figureis one month.

There are also tailor-made, specific policies outthere. These really depend on the situation, for example backpackinghas insurance policies built specifically to protect those who travelin this manner. Because a standard policy has many exemptions, theactivities covered here usually extend the range of cover into usuallyuncovered areas.

It is really about predicting what exactlyyoull be doing when you travel. The top priority is to be covered nomatter what, even if it does cost a little more. But picking the rightpolicy really will make sure you dont pay any more than you have to, orhave to pay any hospital bills.
