Filed under Travel News, Traveller's Tales, No Comments Having just returned from a week’s holiday I’m happy to report we had no major problems and no need to make claims on our travel insurance!

	Vote for Travel Insurance Posted on October 1st, 2007, Richard. Filed under Travel News, Traveller's Tales, 2 Comments We try and avoid getting into politics here in the office but it was hard to ignore the “will they, wont they” debate with regards to a possible general election. A customer asked whether or not we could provide insurance in the event of having to cut their holiday short if a call to [...]

Following the recent terrorist scares in the U.K. additional security measures are once again being implemented at BAA and other airports. Allow additional time for your travel to the airport.

Filed under Holiday Destinations, Travel News, Traveller's Tales, No Comments If you plan to visit Southern California this summer or have friends or family living there you may be concerned about all the wild fires.

	Slip Slop Slap and Other Tanning Matters Posted on May 15th, 2007, Jean. Filed under Travel News, Traveller's Tales, No Comments Travel insurance won’t cover damage to your skin if you decide to lie out in the sun and fry yourself on holiday. We missed the boat a bit because the official Sun Awareness Week was last week, but thought we should mention it anyway as it is so important. This is the time of year [...]


	Guard Your Possessions - Wherever You Travel! Posted on May 4th, 2007, Jean. Filed under Holiday Destinations, Traveller's Tales, 1 Comment As you venture off for the long Bank Holiday weekend remember to pack your brains. We went off to Mallorca/Majorca and forgot ours.

There are warnings everywhere and everyone knows to watch out for thieves [...]


	St. Patrick’s Day Travel Insurance Posted on March 14th, 2007, Jean. Filed under Holiday Destinations, Travel News, Traveller's Tales, No Comments Saturday, March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day.

	Does Your Ski Insurance Cover Foolishness? Posted on March 13th, 2007, Jean. Filed under Ski Holidays, Travel News, Traveller's Tales, No Comments We’ve posted a lot of information about the dangers of skiing off-piste or out of bounds, or when weather forecasts or warnings are posted about the existence of dangerous conditions such as avalanches. If you choose to ignore the warnings you could find your ski insurance will not cover you if something goes wrong. Plus [...]


	No Smoking Rule on Planes is a Serious Matter! Posted on December 12th, 2006, Jean. Filed under Traveller's Tales, No Comments The no smoking policy on planes is for a reason: For the safety of the aircraft and everyone on board! (Not to mention the collective sigh of relief of all non-smokers). It’s amazing that there are still people out there who don’t realize the seriousness of this rule, and what might happen to those who [...]
