Don’t make this holiday mistake
Brits heading abroad this summer are being advised to make one quick check before they travel, as the peak holiday season gets underway. Experts at Compare the Market recommend taking out travel insurance and cover for electronic devices. However, travellers are warned not to assume every policy offers the same level of protection.
Experts say many people assume their travel insurance automatically covers phones, tablets and other gadgets. But policies vary, so it’s worth checking the small print before you travel to avoid unexpected costs.
It notes: “Not all travel insurance policies include gadget cover. And travel insurance payouts for valuables are often low – as little as £200 for one item or £500 in total.”
