the need for a cheap travel insurance
When we start arranging our trips, we think of tickets, visas, hotels, pocket money, guidebooks, etc. Very few even think about getting a travel insurance.
It may not be a must but it surely will give you peace of mind that you need in order to fully enjoy your trip.
Travel insurances are not just about health. It could also cover issues like liability to third parties (for your clumsy moments, god forbid), theft, loss of personal possessions, flight cancellations and other things which may *knock on wood* happen even to the best of us.
“A staggering 80 per cent of people take out insurance offered by travel agents when they book their holiday. Yet research shows that holidaymakers waste up to £250 million a year buying their cover this way. The Research Department (TRD), an independent organisation, last year found travel insurance cost up to twice as much when booked through an operator instead of being bought separately. Part of the reason for this is that some travel agents use high-pressure sales techniques to ensure customers buy their insurance products.”
