It may well seem like a purchase you can do without, but comprehensive holiday insurance is a must.
Being stuck with a huge medical bill should the worst happen while abroad could be just one of the hassles you face if you don't plan ahead. And, if you are participating in a sport such as windsurfing, the need to be covered is even more pressing.
Even if your holiday is only for a few days, it is vital that you book holiday insurance. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office recently outlined potential costs and risks associated with travelling without insurance that make alarming reading. Are you aware that an air ambulance back to the UK could cost as much as £35-40,000 from Europe alone?
Holiday insurance with HolidayExtras.com will not only ensure you are covered for any such medical bills and repatriation, but will also cover any costs incurred should your expensive windsurfing equipment get lost, damaged or stolen during your trip. It's not always easy to put a price on peace of mind, but for just a few extra pounds you can make a start.
Remember to book your airport parking, airport hotel and airport lounge with HolidayExtras.com.
