People
are increasingly seeking out the thrills and adrenalin rush of
an adventure holiday and activities such as zorbing and bungee
jumping are becoming more popular - even on a standard break.
What holidaymakers don't realise is they may not be covered under
a standard travel insurance policy and should be comparing travel
insurance providers to make sure they are taking risks with the
right insurance in place, warns Insurancewide, one of the UK's premier
insurance comparison
sites.
So
before you embark on your next activity holiday - whether it be
climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or white-water rafting in New Zealand
- take some time to look at your travel insurance policy and compare
different options.
Take
Risks But Not With Your Travel Insurance
Skiing
is a common winter break and maybe not classed as 'adventure'
as such, however in most cases it still warrants specialised insurance
- a quick search will allow you to compare the differing policies
for this type of holiday. If you suffer a fall, treatment in some
of Europe's most exclusive ski resorts could really add up, so
it's worth making sure you are covered. If you fancy trekking
in Nepal or maybe climbing some of the world's most stunning mountain
ranges you will have many stories to tell - but you don't want
them to be of how much you ended up paying out as a result of
an injury.
Even
if you're more of a fan of relaxing on the beach, you may have
been drawn into trying a fun activity such as water-skiing or
scuba-diving on the spur of the moment, without giving your travel
insurance a second thought. After all this is what holidays are
for - enjoying new experiences that come your way - however if
you are keen to try a new activity, check and compare travel insurance
policies to ensure you aren't leaving yourself vulnerable if something
were to happen.
When
you compare
travel insurance you may be tempted to tick 'no' to the list
of activities you will be undertaking to take down the cost of
your policy. Yet for peace of mind and the flexibility to travel
somewhere a bit different, or try something new on your usual
beach holiday, it's extremely important to make sure you have
the right travel
insurance in place.
