Check travel insurance cover to avoid problems

Posted by Freddy Morton


Owners of Propex caravan water heaters have been warned that they may not be covered on their travel insurance if they choose to stay in the UK.


According to Saga, 76 per cent of over 50s prefer staycations, with many including short UK trips and holidays into their travel plans, however many are unaware that their travel insurance may not provide the same cover in Britain.


Roger Ramsden, chief executive of Saga Services said: "Many people mistakenly believe that travel insurance provides the same cover whether you're travelling in the UK or abroad, but it's important to check as this is not always the case."


He added that many UK policies will not provide the cost of accommodation and travel should a loved one need hospitalisation miles from home.


In addition, Paul Scanlon, director of my-caravan-insurance.co.uk, said that caravan owners should compare the cost and cover of many policies rather than just selecting on price alone.
