Short Winter Break? Don't forget the Insurance!
With winter well and truly here many people will take the opportunity to rid themselves
of the winter blues by getting away for a few days on a short break abroad. And
there is one thing that is as essential as taking your passport - travel insurance.
Perry Wilson, from travel insurance specialist InsureandGo, says: "Many short breaks
are taken in Europe because you can be at your chosen destination in a matter of
a few hours. However, statistics from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office show that
20 per cent of people travelling to European destinations don't take out insurance.
"It doesn't matter how long your trip is for, an accident or incident can occur
at anytime which will see that cheap short break turn into a very expensive trip.
Breaking a leg or an arm can see costs spiral into tens of thousands of pounds because
of the medical costs involved and without insurance you could be paying off the
resulting bill for many years."
All InsureandGo's policies include over 40 adventure activities automatically and
