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.
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.
Legal and General are reminding UK holidaymakers to make sure their travel insurance includes their luggage, even if the trip is within the United Kingdom.
From a study carried out by a team at Legal and General a typical family of four people could have belongings in their luggage worth over GBP3,000, so not having insurance in place for such a value would be a high risk strategy. The common conception of travel insurance is that it is needed for overseas travel, but this is not the case.
Baggage can be lost or damaged on any holiday say Legal and General, not just one in a different country, and losing GBP3,000 worth of items would not help anyone. Far better, therefore, to get suitable travel insurance.
