With Europe sitting in the worst recession in decades, it’s very important to make every penny count, cutting back on spending wherever possible. However, there are some things you can’t justify cutting back on, travel insurance being one of them. You may think it’s annoying having to pay for travel insurance, think about paying foreign hospital bills that can run into the thousands. Being uninsured overseas when things go wrong is not something anyone would wish for.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t minimise the cost of travel cover. Competition between insurers can work in favour of the consumer. We in the UK spend more on travel each year than anyone else in Europe, and as you would expect there are an appropriately large number of insurance options available.

By tailoring a policy to your needs or picking the one most suited to them, money can be saved without having to reduce the protection afforded by travel cover. One of the most basic ways to save is to pick the right type of policy, a few examples of which are shown below:

Single Trip Travel Insurance. Most likely, are you going to travel abroad more than once in the coming year? This is a question we all should be asking ourselves before we choose a policy, as it is the easiest way of saving money. as you would expect, single trip cover is more economical than a yearly or multi-trip package but would work out more expensive should you buy two single trip policies within a year. But that doesn’t mean this type of policy can’t go a very long way. Practically, you can probably stay away for up to six months.

Annual Travel Insurance. If you are intending to travel overseas more than once in a year, this kind of coverage is most economical, especially if you travel often. There is generally no limit on the number of journeys you can take, however the length of any single journey may be shorter than the length under a specific Single Trip policy. An average figure is one month.

There are also tailor-made, specific policies out there. These really depend on the situation, for example backpacking has insurance policies built specifically to protect those who travel in this manner. Because a standard policy has many exemptions, the activities covered here usually extend the range of cover into usually uncovered areas.

The important thing to do is buy suitable travel insurance for your needs. When you take care of this there are still many ways to save money on your holiday travel policy. Shopping around and learning the market will help you cut out cover you don’t need.
