20% British Holiday Makers Have No Travel Insurance
October 27th, 2011 - Chris Marshall
Recent reports indicate that 20% of Brits taking a holiday abroad don’t bother with travel insurance, despite all the warnings.
Spain remains the number one destination for Brits holidaying abroad, but it is also number for for the country with the most expensive claims.
Some 17 per cent of those questioned believe having a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) provides adequate coverage when travelling in Europe.
In fact, the card only gives access to basic state medical care, and will not cover repatriation costs if a holidaymaker needs to be flown home.
The survey claims that such a trip can cost more than 18,000 euros.
Similarly a fractured hip in Spain could actually set a holidaymaker back more than 23,000 euros.
