Christian Bennett from Multitrip.com explains: "By buying insurance as soon as you book, or 'ASAB', you're safeguarding your holiday investment, and ensuring you're protected should you be unable to travel."
Worryingly, in a Multitrip.com survey, carried out by Opinium, of 1,000 holidaymakers, 21% of holidaymakers say they have travelled abroad without any insurance at all, with nearly a quarter mistakenly believing that a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) covers all potential medical costs abroad.
"A GHIC only provides basic state medical care in some countries including the EU and Switzerland," Bennett continues. "It won't cover the expense of getting you home or the costs of an extended stay due to a medical emergency."
Bennett added, "It's crucial to thoroughly research travel insurance options to ensure you have the right coverage tailored to your needs, and carefully review your chosen policy."
