Latest Travel Insurance News

It is believe that up to 25% of Britons do not take out travel cover when they go abroad according to ABTA. The age group which are most likely to be without travel insurance are the under 25s and the over 70s.

The importance of buying travel insurance cannot be more stressed becuase if you are caught abroad needing medical treatment and you do not have cover then you could be in big trouble and face hefty bills, for instance to ben flown from France to the UK could cost you up to £10,000 if you need to be accompanies by a nurse.

EHIC CARDS - European Health Insurance Cards

Ehic cards should always be taken to Europe if you are going on holiday or even for a weekend break. Please be aware that they should not be seen as a replacement for travel insurance and that a good level of medical cover is still important.

If you are living in another European country then your EHIC card will not be valid as they are only designed for people on short terms trips, If you are an expat than you will need to organise some kind of medical cover for expats.

Travel cover that comes free with bank accounts

Some bank accounts offer free travel insurance as part of a deal when you sign up for a current account with them. It is worth checking the small print to ensure you are eligible for the cover.

In 2013 there will be new FSA rules to ensure that checks are made by the banks to ensure the customer is eligible to claim against the travel insurance they are offering and that the product is suitable for the individual. Some of these free travel insurance with not cover people over the age of 70 so it is worth reading up on what and who is covered.

If in doubt you are better of taking out seperate travel insurance particularly if you have a medical condition that will need to be declared.

Travel insurance for older people and medical conditions explained

Many over 75s unfortunately have medical conditions that will not be covered by normal travel insurance. Therefore it is important to take this into consideration when gaining medical cover.

If you do not declare your medical condition then if a complication arises from it then you will not be covered. For instance if you have angina and you have a complication with your heart while you are away then you will have to pay for your medical fees yourself.

Nearly all major travel insurance providers will allow you to declare any pre-exising medical condtions now online and while this will increase your premium, it also means that you can have peace of mind knowing you are covered if complications arise.
