Purchasing travel insurance, including for holidays within the UK, is highly recommended.

Coach holidays may offer familiarity, but they also involve certain risks and uncertainties. Travel insurance is often regarded as a requirement for overseas trips; however, without insurance domestic travellers may also encounter unexpected challenges and expenses should a situation occur, and they don’t have adequate insurance cover in place.

There are several reasons why obtaining travel insurance, even for UK-based travel, can be beneficial.

Cancellation/Curtailment

Regardless of planning, unforeseen circumstances might require cancelling or shortening a trip, such as a sudden illness or family emergency. Without travel insurance, non-refundable costs may not be recovered.

Medical Expenses

While NHS services are available across the UK, there can be situations where travel insurance offers additional support. For example, private ambulance transport or repatriation to your home following an accident or illness could incur significant costs. These expenses are not always covered by standard medical provision and could result in a traveller incurring significant costs, if they are not adequately insured.

Travel insurance frequently covers:

·        Private ambulance or emergency transport

·        Repatriation to your home address if necessary

·        Accommodation and travel for a companion if you are hospitalised during your holiday
