DANGER - SMALL PRINT!DON’T BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE FROM ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS!THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE BUT PROBABLY DON’T!We are aware that the conditions relating to insurance cover are generally regarded as a rip-off and there is a serious lack of understanding about the scope of cover that is provided on insurance policies. After years of involvement in the travel insurance industry, we have built up a good understanding of the main areas where problems can arise. We would like to share this knowledge with you, so that you enter into the buying process with your eyes wide open and with a better understanding of the product that you are buying and will be relying on during your travels. A travel insurance document is about as tedious a piece of literature as you will find anywhere and we would challenge anyone to stay awake long enough to read it from end to end, though you must, even if you do it in bits over a period of time. Most of it is pretty harmless and obvious common-sense stuff but we can highlight the main areas that you should concentrate on so that you can avoid nasty surprises in the event of needing to claim. In our opinion, there is no such thing as an “all-risks” policy and that term should be outlawed! So here goes – we’ll approach this section by section – You’re not going to like this! |
