Here at BabyAbroad we regularly bang on about the need for travel insurance, so we were somewhat surprised and disappointed by the recent survey carried out by price comparison site, Confused.com into our holiday habits.  Despite the fact that most of us take at least one holiday a year and 90% of us have holidayed abroad at some point, a staggering 45% don t regularly buy travel insurance.*
Ironically, our biggest holiday nightmare phoenix airport car rental is falling ill on holiday and 44% of us have experienced some form of illness either ourselves or among our party when abroad.  Maybe we don t realise that we re not covered for major health bills abroad?
Our EHIC (European Health Insurance Cards) only cover medical bills to the equivalent of what is free in the EU country we re holidaying in.  That means that hospital bills may not be included and repatriation should you need to be sent back to the UK for medical reasons certainly isn t.
Family travel insurance policies often include children for free. And when you can get insurance from as little as £9.75*  for a family of four for a week s European trip, it really doesn t add much to the cost of the holiday, but it does buy you peace of mind.
