Consumers Value Quality Highest When Choosing Cover, Say Go Travel Insurance

BASILDON, England, December 7 - A recent survey by Go Travel Insurance has revealed that consumers value
the quality and level of cover provided by their insurance policy over and
above the actual price.

Customers were asked which factors were most important to them when
choosing travel insurance, level of cover came in first, followed by price
and then 'personal recommendation' by family or friend.

The quality of cover is particularly important for ski and snowboard
enthusiasts and as the winter sport season is getting under way, it is time
to invest in travel insurance. Ski breaks are one of the most expensive types
of holiday a family can go on. So many people try to cut costs and forgo
arranging travel insurance. In fact, 25 per cent of the British public still
persist in travelling without insurance. However, this can prove a false
economy.

If you break a leg on the slopes treatment can cost around 4000 pounds in
Europe and up to 10,000 pounds in the US. With a travel insurance policy
based on price alone you could end up paying high excesses and therefore
having to foot some of the bill for the associated costs; air lifting,
ambulances and extended hospital stays all add up and if you're not properly
covered you could end up out of pocket. Some consumers have had to learn the
hard way, that selecting insurance on price alone can prove more costly in
the long run.

Winter sports insurance from Go Travel Insurance includes cover for
skiing and snowboarding; medical expenses up to 10 million pounds;
cancellation and curtailment up to 3,000 pounds, 24-hour medical emergency
support - which can be particularly helpful if you aren't in an English
speaking country and, as an added bonus for families, children are covered
free of charge on single trip policies.

So before you get blown away by the price of a travel insurance policy,
read the small print and check exactly what is included so you won't be left
stranded up a mountain with a broken leg.
