Travellers urged to take out travel insurance
London, UK (PRWeb UK) 6 November 2009 -- Research shows that 20 per cent of travellers over 55 years of age enjoy extreme activities on holiday, including water sports and bungee jumping, and yet almost two-thirds do not take out travel insurance to cover these activities. Furthermore, one in five couples over the age of 55 said that they or their partner had been injured whilst holidaying abroad.
Post Office Travel Insurance has recently extended its annual multi-trip travel insurance policy to cater for over-65s. However, it is also reminding those young-at-heart holidaymakers that they may need to secure extreme sports cover in addition to their standard travel insurance policy.
Post Office Travel Insurance reminds holidaymakers that some activities may not be covered by standard travel insurance - so whether pony trekking in Wales or scuba diving in the Caribbean, travellers are advised to always check policies to make sure they are fully covered, and take out additional travel insurance to cover any extreme sports.
Taking out comprehensive travel insurance will cover against most medical expenses, and ensure that, despite disrupting a holiday, an accident does not result in costly medical bills or repatriation fees. However, if an accident happens and an injury occurs, Post Office Travel Insurance advises that contacting a local doctor or hospital should of course be the first point of call.
