Another holiday essential is the travel insurance, and please do get it. You never know what might happen so it’s better to get some very basic cover than nothing at all. So where to go to get cheap travel insurance? Well, here’s where.

Firstly go to moneysupermarket - enter your details and view the price comparison. It’s worth noting that yearly cover can sometimes only be a few pounds more than single trip cover so if you plan to take more than one holiday per year then this might be the best option. Personally I think the most important parts of the insurance are cancellation, baggage and medical expenses cover so keep an eye on those amounts. Also, don’t be fooled into going with one that offers £10m medical expenses as £2m will be more than enough. Also, check for family and couples cover as this can also save you money rather than individual insurance for each person.

Now that you’ve found the insurance you want check on the Cashback Sites to see if you can get any further discount.

Another point worth making is if your holiday is in, say, 2 months time - don’t hold off on getting your insurance until then - get it pretty muc as soon as you know your holiday dates. The reason for this: Well, if you have to cancel your holiday between now and then you’ll be covered for the cancellation part of your cover.
