Must admit, it makes my blood boil when you see these just giving type fundraisers set up for folk who go abroad to the Benidorms and Magalufs and end up in hospital or worse and turns out they have no travel insurance.
Friends and family are expected to chip in to provide the health cover or the repatriation of the body. In most cases I am pretty sure the travel insurance would have been cheaper than their first round of drinks!
And of course, another mistake many make is to take out travel insurance just before you leave - should be purchased at same time as holiday To provide all the pre holiday insurance you need like cancellation.
