Travel Insurance
You are strongly advised to take out travel insurance before embarking on any holiday. Most tour operators will insist that you are covered before accepting a booking.
A travel company may charge as much as £40 per adult for a single trip whereas you can purchase an Annual travel policy covering several trips for the whole family from £50 upwards - but do compare the cover offered by different policies. Some budget versions exclude luggage, for example. Remember that travel insurance covers you for cancellation as well as medical expenses, lost baggage etc. and therefore an annual policy can be used cover you for short breaks in the UK as well. The companies below all offer online quotations and purchase for single trip and annual travel policies. Check them out!
