Are you planning a holiday? If you are then it’s always a good idea to make sure you are properly covered in the case that anything should go wrong.

Amazingly, nearly two thirds of Brits admit to taking out no travel insurance when they go away, while eight percent say they have never bothered. This ‘it wouldn’t happen to me’ attitude puts travellers at unnecessary risk; what would you do if you lost your passport, plane tickets, or one of your party had to have special transport home for medical reasons? It’s quite easy to find cheap deals to cover your travelling group, but if you’ve never bothered before then you’ll need a few tips to get the right deal. If you’re looking to go abroad, then read these few tips to send you in the right direction when it comes to insurance.

The Type of Policy

There are quite a few fundamentally different insurance policies available. There’s single or multi trip, then specific packages such as backpacker insurance and sports insurance for holidays such as skiing. It shouldn’t be too hard to think of what you need if you’re going on a foreign beach holiday within the EU – probably single trip cover – but if you’re considering more than one trip during a twelve month period, you should probably go for multi trip. The family deals on these packages can make them cheaper in the long term. Outside the EU is likely to drive your quote higher. You should remember that due to their expensive private healthcare system, you will probably need to pay more if you’re travelling to the USA, and substantially more if you’re going on a sporting or skiing trip due to the related risks.
