The poll found that a quarter of British people will not be getting insurance before they go abroad this year.</p> <p>This is quite a worrying figure, as <a href="http://uk.virginmoney.com/virgin/travel-insurance/" target="_blank">travel insurance </a><br> is a must-have no matter where you go or how long for. Plus, recent unrest in some countries and a shaky economic situation in others mean that having good travel insurance cover is more important than ever before. One of the things that holiday insurance covers you for is unanticipated incidents or emergencies that lead to your holiday being delayed, cancelled or ending early. </p> <p>The same survey also found that 33% thought travel insurance isn’t really necessary. While it’s safe to say that the majority of people who take out travel insurance will never need to use it, it’s still definitely worth having it as you can never be completely sure you won’t need it. After all, who could have predicted how much trouble the Icelandic volcano would cause when it erupted recently? Without travel insurance to cover extra accommodation costs, many people would have been left with big hotel bills.</p> <p>22% of people also told the survey that they think the cost of travel insurance is too high. However, even if buying an insurance policy seems like a lot, it’s still a fraction of the cost you’d have to pay if something went wrong on holiday and you ended up having to pay a week’s worth of hospital bills out of your own pocket, for example. </p> <p>While it is worrying that a significant number of British people are sceptical about <a href="http://uk.virginmoney.com/virgin/travel-insurance/index.jsp" target="_blank">holiday insurance</a> and that many of them won’t buy it at all, it is still heartening to see that the majority of people take it out before they travel abroad. This suggests that most people are aware of the benefits of having travel insurance – and the dangers of not having it at all. </p> <p>After all, even if you never need to use your insurance, it is still comforting to know that it’s there just in case. Plus, if anything did go wrong it seems safe to suspect that people would be very glad that they had it just in case. Travel insurance might not be the most exciting aspect of your holiday, but it is an essential one, so if you’re due to go on a trip soon, please make sure you get the right cover.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="titleblue"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="titleblue"><strong>GET A QUOTE FROM TRAVEL INSURANCE BROKERS AT LLOYDS</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFDEAB"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href='http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/AFClick.asp?affiliateID=8509&merchantID=2573&programmeID=6844&mediaID=54275&tracking=&url='><img border=0 src='http://banners.affiliatefuture.com/2573/54275.gif'></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </a> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="15"><img src="images/trans.gif" width="15" height="5"></td> <td width="160"><table width="160" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr align="left" valign="middle"> <td width="15" bgcolor="#FFDEAB"><img src="images/trans.gif" width="15" height="22"></td> <td width="145" height="10" bgcolor="#FFDEAB" class="titleblue">Travel insurance cover available</td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td width="15" height="10" align="center"><img src="images/trans.gif" width="10" height="10"></td> <td width="145" height="10" class="text"></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td width="15" height="10" align="center"><img src="images/indexdot.gif" width="5" height="5" hspace="0" vspace="5"></td> <td width="145" height="10" class="textblue">Travel insurance covers are available for the following.<br> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td align="center"><img src="images/trans.gif" width="10" height="6"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td align="center"><img src="images/indexdot.gif" width="5" height="5" hspace="0" vspace="5"></td> <td class="textblue">Single trip travel insurance<BR> Individual or family cover, Single Trip travel insurance policy should meet your holiday insurance needs.
