Do I need travel insurance for city breaks abroad?

  • July 17, 2012
  • Jules

Whether you have a lengthy summer holiday on the cards, a small business trip or a weekend city break, all require the individual to take out a certain level of travel insurance.

Travel insurance protects both you and your family whilst away on holiday.  There are various forms of cover available and most policies cover a range of problems as well as a number of types of trip.
These problems may range from small inconveniences to full-scale catastrophes!

The main benefit of having travel insurance is the fact that such cover will take care of any medical costs whilst abroad.  If you become ill or injured whilst away and donโ€™t have travel insurance, medical costs will often appear extortionate, particular to a Briton used to the NHS.

Travel insurance will also reimburse you if you lose your travellers cheques, your money, your wallet, your bag or any other possessions.  The same applies to these items if any of them are stolen.

Another benefit of travellers insurance is the fact that such a cover will reimburse the policyholder if the holiday is cut short due an accident, ailment or any other medical disaster.

There are many forms of travel insurance available, such as single trip insurance and annual travel insurance.ย  What type of insurance you invest in will usually depend on how many times you travel a year.ย  If you are lucky enough to venture abroad every other month, it may be worthwhile looking into an annual cover.
