Britons fail to take out travel insurance cover
Research carried out by Sainsbury Finance has revealed that a large number of British people are no longer bothering to ensure that they have adequate insurance cover for the holidays that they are taking in the UK.
However, those people who do not insure their holidays may find that they will end up paying a lot more than they bargained for.
Holidaymakers have often found that their travel plans have been interrupted by cancelled flights or the loss or theft of luggage. Obviously, if there is no insurance cover then the holidaymaker will not be able to recoup the monies they have already paid for flights or they will have to fork out a considerable sum of money to replace any goods. These types of incident are easily covered by the taking out of a good insurance policy.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury Finance said that holidaymakers should get into the practice of taking out insurance whether they are on a short break in the UK or if they choose to spend several weeks abroad.
