Nearly a Third of UK Travellers Take Winter Sports Breaks without Holiday Insurance

(PRWeb UK) December 23, 2010

As UK holidaymakers prepare to head for the slopes this winter, new research from the Foreign Office reveals that almost a third (31%) of people in the UK admit to not taking out travel insurance for their winter sports holidays .

Post Office Travel Insurance is urging those hitting the slopes to review their travel insurance cover before departing. Skiers who travel without travel insurance or with inadequate travel insurance for their proposed winter sports activities cover could face some hefty bills if they suffer an accident while on holiday.

Post Office Travel Insurance reminds holidaymakers to check to make sure any travel insurance covers any winter sports activity they might partake in is fully covered.

Many standard travel insurance policies do not cover winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. However, travel insurance providers such as the Post Office do offer additional ski and winter sports travel insurance cover on top of standard travel insurance cover.

As skiers head off the slopes, Post Office Travel Insurance advises UK holidaymakers to consider their travel insurance policy requirements. For those taking more than one holiday this year if then an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy (including the additional winter sports cover) could prove a cheaper option than several single-trip travel insurance policies.
