Why is travel insurance important?
It is an unfortunate thing to lose your luggage or be stuck at an airport, and since we do not have any control over such events, the travellers are advised to take appropriate precautions.
Thus, consulting a travel doctor plays a vital role in planning your travel abroad. They will provide you with useful information while opting for travel insurance.
When you take travel insurance, you cover yourself from any potential risks while travelling, such as lost luggage, cancellation cover and most importantly, unexpected medical costs abroad. A complete travel insurance policy consists of the following:
- Emergency medical cover
- Losses sustained due to unforeseen cancellation or having to cut the trip short
- Death and disability cover
- Luggage cover
One should opt for insurance packages, specially designed for domestic travels, that will help them save money during unforeseen unfortunate events.
Unfortunately, banks and lenders aspire to earn profits, putting their customer’s future in danger. One of the prime examples of this situation is when millions of people in the UK were wrongly sold the PPI policy.
The Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) policy scam forced millions of people to raise their voice against it, and ask for their claim. This is when most of the people realised that they were not eligible to make a claim, and thus lost the case against the bank or the lender. There are two ways in which you can make a claim, you can either can take the help of claim management companies, or make a claim all by yourself.
As a result of the scam, people are now taking precautionary measures before opting for insurance or loans from banks or lenders. It is recommended that you thoroughly check all the documents before you sign them, and make sure that you do not fall victim to such scams.
