If like me your holidays are few and far between, the excitement of going away spurs a shopping spree of the century for sun cream, swim suits, sarongs, sunnies and some sexy strapless dresses! Well girls, before you pop a padlock on your luggage, make sure that you have decent travel insurance. Single trip travel insurance is specifically for infrequent travellers and can be bought easily online without much fuss at all, and the reasons you need it are loud and clear. Remember the disruption to flights from the Icelandic volcanic eruption, or the time when airlines and travel agents went bust?
These events left literally thousands stranded, without a holiday, or lumbered with expensive hotel bills due to delays. Single trip travel insurance will cover events like these, which means that you won’t be left looking like a lemon in the airport, and heading back home without a tan line in sight. Some policies also cover medical emergencies and taking part in extreme sports for girls that like to do more than swig a summer sangria. So before you slap on the sun cream and think you are done, buy single trip travel insurance – the cash you’ll potentially save could well pay for next year’s fun in the sun!
