In a recent report, a leading insurance company advised travellers to remember their travel cover, even if they are travelling within the UK.

A survey which was conducted recently, showed that about 82% of British travellers fail to purchase travel insurance for holidays and trips which happen in the UK. This is mainly done because travellers want to save money on trips.

There are many people in the UK who feel that they do not require travel insurance for taking trips within the UK.

Of course, it is true that passengers do not require the health insurance element of the regular travel insurance. However, they would still end up shelling out hundreds of pounds if their luggage should get lost or even if they have to cancel their trip unexpectedly.

According to the insurance company, very few people realise that getting travel insurance for trips and holidays within the UK is affordable.

As part of the rules, travel insurance designed for trips within the UK are considerably cheaper compared to cover for foreign travel.

This is generally because the health insurance factor in travel insurance policies accounts for almost 60-70% of the entire cost of a policy.
