Swiftcover are expecting around 100,000 teenagers from the UK will go on holiday this year without their parents – but also without travel insurance.
Young people going on holiday without their parents are one of the highest risk categories of holidaymaker – with all that freedom to explore and a desire to experience new things for the first time. However this means that adequate travel insurance is more important than ever, so Swiftcover would like to see young people making it a part of their holiday planning.
Even though travel insurance does not cover people under the influence of alcohol, something that many teen travellers enjoy, there are still many different situations where travel insurance is still applicable said a Swiftcover spokesperson.
Well known insurer Liverpool Victoria has just announced new travel insurance policies for annual or single trip cover.
The travel insurance policies are new for Liverpool Victoria but they have clearly researched the market well and brought together aspects that travellers want. For example the policies can be tailored to suit the situation, with options for golf trips, weddings and winter sports.
Both policies offer GBP10 million of medical cover and GBP2,500 for personal possessions. They also include personal accident protection and cover for missing a departure. Liverpool Victoria have clearly done their travel insurance homework.
The MD of Liverpool Victoria, known also as LV=, was delighted to be able to offer these new travel insurance policies for existing and new customers, feeling that they would meet customer requirements very well and, with highly competitive prices, help them save money too.

They are including details of the Post Office travel insurance offers with the list, ensuring drivers and families do not forget this vital element of travelling. Moving on to the list itself Spain has been shown to offer the best value, with fuel approximately a pound a litre and low cost car hire common.
The lowest fuel prices are to be found in Switzerland, though more expensive car hire prices and other charges make it more expensive than Spain overall. A Post Office Insurance spokeswoman revealed that the UK had suffered the largest fuel price increases across Europe, approximately 20 percent.
