Travel delays and medical costs top reasons people claim on holiday insurance

New research from Go.Compare travel insurance has revealed the most common reasons people claim on their insurance policy, with transport delays topping the list. The data has revealed of the travel insurance claims made in the past year, more than a third included money back due to transport delays, and three-in-10 claimed to help cover the cost of medical treatment abroad.

Rhys Jones, travel insurance spokesperson for Go.Compare, said: “With stories hitting the news recently about uninsured travellers facing eye-watering medical costs, it goes without saying that travel insurance could be an important safety net.” “Purchasing a travel insurance policy the moment you book a trip will give you peace of mind that if any of your travel arrangements don’t go to plan whether in the airport or while you are away, you won’t be left out of pocket.

He also urged people to check the small print before buying and to keep the details handy after you leave, just in case you do need to make a claim.
