Travel Insurance

• Travel insurance covers medical expenses, cancellation, loss of luggage, personal accidents and legal expenses
• The cost of travel insurance depends on how long you are going away, where you are going and the type of holiday you are going on
• If you travel lots, you can take out annual cover which is usually cheaper than taking out insurance for every time you travel
• Some travel agents offer you travel insurance when you book your holiday, but it's advisable to shop around first. You can get travel insurance on the Internet, in certain supermarkets and pharmacies, insurance companies, banks or the post office

Each policy varies so make sure you shop around for the best deal to suit you before you travel. Make sure you fully understand what your policy covers. Contact BIBA or the Money Advice Service for advice.

The Money Advice Service has an excellent section on debt managment including:

• Do you need travel insurance?
