Shop around for your travel insurance

More evidence has emerged over just how much you can save on travel insurance if you shop around, rather than buying from your travel agent. According to research by InsureandGo you could pay up to 91.8% more for single trip insurance from an travel agent than buying from the most competitive insurance companies. That’s a lot more to pay for the same product.

You can read my tips about travel insurance so you can buy the right product for you, at a good price. I seem to be a mission to save you money today. It’s just a coincidence the headlines about this and increasing bank charges for overseas debit card usage came to my attention today. Do you think it’s worth to effort to shop around or do you think why bother for a few pounds, it’s supposed to be fun arranging a trip, instead of penny pinching?

Getting sick or injured while you are traveling abroad can be vey expensive, especially if you are traveling in the USA or Canada. If you are going to be participating in dangerous sports, make sure you get a plan that covers that hazardous activity. Also, getting a travel insurance policy that covers terrorism is a good idea.
