Holiday Insurance

We all automatically buy insurance if we are booking an overseas holiday but don't bother for UK holidays .However, please bear in mind that your booking with us is a legally binding contract and what would happen if you or a family member fell ill, had an accident, passed away or were made redundant, for example? You are still liable for the full cost of your holiday, even if you are unable to come.

It is worth looking at some of the price comparison websites for prices, and make sure that the policy offers all the cover you need (some charge extra for redundancy cover).

Hopefully you can find a scheme to suit you so that you can relax and look forward to your holiday with total peace of mind.
