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.
A list of top driving holiday destinations has been produced by the Post Office Insurance division, suggesting the best places in Europe to drive, either travelling from the UK or using a local hire car.
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.
