Holiday insurance is a necessity, not a luxury - ABI
A spokesman from the Association of British Insurers (ABI) stressed that availing of holiday insurance nowadays is considered a necessity and not just a “luxury” as it was once perceived.
Taking trips abroad is a risk and it is but logical to have at least some sort of financial protection in case something unexpected happens like accidents and falling ill while on vacation outside the country.
The spokesperson stressed that there are countries outside the Europe that will certainly not recognize the European Health Insurance card that’s why it is best to start inquiring right now on how to avail of the holiday insurance before making that travel. The internet is the easiest source for information or the travel agent in the local area may provide insight as to where to go before booking the vacation.
Research revealed that one out of ten people don’t avail of the holiday insurance in their travels. More than half said that they just forgot availing of this.
