Go for cover with insurance
When it comes to choosing travel insurance, consumers should ensure that they get the appropriate level of cover, rather than going straight for the cheapest option, an expert has claimed. Sean Tipton of travel agents’ association Abta said that it is also important for travellers to discussion any pre-existing medical conditions with their insurance provider, as they could affect the policy. His comments come after a report by consumer group Which? claimed that many travel agents are selling potentially unsuitable travel insurance that offers poor value for money. The organisation said that 17 of the 29 companies it visited failed to offer the basic details of their policy, while six did not enquire about pre-existing medical conditions.
