Switzerland is, perhaps, the exact opposite of Ireland.  Yet we enjoyed our visit there as much as we enjoyed Ireland.

Check Travel Insurance Before You Travel

Financial research firm Defaqto has advised travellers to research and double-check their travel insurance policies before they go on holiday –to ensure that they have the right travel insurance for them. The research, which was first reported in the British press, reveals that the reason for this is because policies can vary depending on the insurer, and these policies can change quickly, and without warning, leaving travellers at risk of extra costs if they have an accident on holiday or lose valuables whilst they’re away. 

The research by Defaqto has revealed that 13% of travel insurance policies don’t cover personal possessions from damage, loss of theft, and it also highlighted that whilst 81% of policies offer cover over £1,000, only 11% of all travel insurance policies contain a single item limit of £350 or over.

Holidaymakers about the head off on holiday are being urged to go over their travel insurance policy very carefully, and check what their particular policy defines as valuables, as this definition can differ depending on the insurer, and may also be substantially different from what a holidaymaker might describe as a valuable.

Older travellers have also been advised that selecting the cheapest insurance policy may end up costing them more in the future, as finding the right insurance policy becomes much more difficult when you’re over 50, so consider the level of cover the policy offers before buying it and your airline tickets.
