Consider annual travel insurance, Sainsbury's says

Wed, 04 Jan 2006

A leading travel insurance company is urging frequent travellers to consider taking out annual travel insurance rather than single trip travel insurance if they plan to take various holidays this year.

Sainsbury's Bank found that over the last year, 6.4 million holidaymakers took several trips overseas but instead of taking out annual multi trip travel insurance, they bought single trip travel insurance for every holiday.

The travel insurance company says that taking out annual travel insurance or multi trip travel insurance rather than single trip travel insurance can save 25 per cent.

This means the more than ten million Britons who holiday abroad more than twice a year could make significant savings.

"The beginning of the year is one of the busiest times for holiday booking," says the travel insurance head at Sainsbury's Bank, Karen Preston.

"However, as people get excited about choosing where to go, they can often overlook the importance of choosing the right travel insurance policy or even forget to take out cover at all, especially when taking shorter weekend breaks."

Holidaymakers should also consider the quality and the price of travel insurance when they are shopping around for the best deal, the insurance company says.
