- You should compare products and then purchase comprehensive travel insurance as soon as you make a booking and pay any deposits to ensure you have cancellation cover if unforeseen events cause you to need to cancel your trip.
- Consider any cover you need for medical expenses, cancellation fees and luggage. You may also want to consider rental vehicle excess cover, as well as any additional protection you may need for cruise or ski holidays and be sure to buy a policy that suits your holiday needs.
- Do not leave your possessions unattended in a public place as any theft claims may not be met. All policies have limits, conditions and exclusions and understanding these is crucial for ensuring you have the cover you need.
- Make copies of your important travel documents. Leave a photocopy of your travel insurance, passport and any other important documents with someone at home, just in case your originals are lost or stolen.
- If you plan to travel more than once throughout the year, you may find greater value in purchasing annual cover; travel insurance that covers all your trips for a full year (but be sure to check the maximum travel days that are covered, per trip). For domestic trips you may need to be a certain distance from your home for cover to operate.
