According to the latest research by Which?, many of Britain’s leading travel insurers sell cover which contains a loop hole. Apparently, if a customer falls ill after they have purchased travel insurance, many insurers will consider their cover void. However, it is important to note that an insurance policy is calculated and issued based on the answers given to certain questions, for example ‘do you have a pre-existing medical condition?’, if the customer answers no then the premium is calculated accordingly. Furthermore, Travel insurance policies cover claims which arise out of things that are ‘sudden, unforeseen and beyond your reasonable control’, so if you know you are ill before you travel, and you do not declare this, then any medical problems will not be covered. Consequently, this is why it is so important for clients to tell insurers if anything changes between the date of purchase and date of departure. Whereas most travel insurers hide this in the small print, Holidaysafe.co.uk aim to provide first class customer service and a company their customers can trust, so they actually issue two policies to the customer. Policy A just covers cancellation, and Policy B covers everything else, this makes the need to declare a pre-existing condition much clearer and easier to understand for the customer. Plus, because Holidaysafe.co.uk has an award winning team and expert staff, the client is usually told that their new medical condition will be covered with no additional premium, depending on the condition. If the client has an undiagnosed condition and is awaiting the results of tests, he may be advised to postpone his trip until the results are known. If the customer cannot be covered, he will have three options; 1. To cancel his trip and receive payment for any cancellation charges. 2. To cancel his policy and receive a refund. 3. To travel, but to be aware that he will not be covered if his condition causes a claim. This ensures that Holidaysafe.co.uk’s clients are fully informed, and not out of pocket.

Research by consumer watch dog 'Which?', found that many websites automatically add unwanted extras and upgrades to a purchase, with out warning the customer. For example, many travel websites add expensive flight upgrades, access to the airport lounge and seven days car hire to a short haul flight purchase. Which? surveyed several companies, and meticulously went through their websites to test whether any extras or upgrades would sneakily be added to the total. Some of their findings were quite disturbing, for example on one travel website an international visa was added to the total, at £27 per person. Not only is this a devious add on, it is also an extremely inflated price, as they can be purchased for £9. Furthermore, many websites automatically add their travel insurance onto the total price, without warning the customer.

Last week it was reported that a British tourist had been attacked by ‘tame’ cheetahs, as she visited an animal park in South Africa. The 60 year old woman from Aberdeen was visiting ‘Kragga Kamma Game Reserve’ near Port Elizabeth with her husband Archie when she was ‘mauled’. The reserve welcomes tourists to enter wild animal enclosures to pet the Cheetahs and have photographs taken. The two Cheetahs, named Mark and Monty had been raised by the park since they were born, and had never been aggressive towards people before. Apparently, an eight year old girl was also with the Cheetahs, but become frightened and started to run, the Cheetahs then chased and attacked her, when Mrs D’Mello tried to help she was also attacked, and needed stitches. It is important to point out that these are very powerful wild animals, they should never be treated as pets and should be approached gently. Their natural instinct is to attack/play with prey which is running, and they are much more likely to attempt this with a creature they can sense is young and afraid. When you are away it is extremely important that you make the most of your holiday, whilst also assessing risks and using common sense. Adrenaline pumping activities, such as bungee jumping, or entering a wild animal’s territory, whether you are swimming with sharks or going on safari, should always be taken with caution, and only if you have adequate insurance. At Holidaysafe.co.uk every one of our travel insurance policies automatically covers you to participate in hundreds of activities, and we also give you the option to extend your cover to include hundreds more, including safaris, swimming with sharks, bungee jumping, snow boarding and much more.
