Tesco Finance has announced price reductions on its short break travel insurance products, a short break usually being three days or less.
Customers looking for travel insurance to cover a short city break or similar can now find it available from just GBP5.40 per person from Tesco Finance, this figure including the 10 percent discount that is offered for buying the holiday cover online.
Short breaks around Europe have been increasingly popular, offering the chance to experience a different culture without travelling too far afield. Tesco Finance want people to feel confident that everything is taken care of and so have made it even easier to pick up low cost travel insurance.
As the busiest time of the year for holidays comes ever closer Tesco Finance are sharing some hints and tips with holidaymakers to help them have a great holiday and to manage situations in the best way should they arise.
The most common problems that cause customers to make a claim are lost baggage, medical care and cancellations. All three can ruin a holiday but travel insurance can ease the pressure and ensure a better experience. With regard to lost or stolen baggage for example Tesco Finance want travellers to report their loss to the relevant people straight away. This make the whole claim process much easier further down the line.
Cancellations can be tricky but the key is getting documented proof from the company providing the travel that there was a delay and the reason why. With this in place the claim is much more straightforward.
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.
