Your tickets to Marbella are purchased and your bags are packed. What else is missing? Exactly, travel insurance in Spain. Whilst we all hope it will not be necessary, for a small amount of money you can get a travel insurance in case things don’t go according to plans. Your trip to Spain may be scarred by unexpected delays, lost luggage, or accidents. Having good travel insurance in Spain may give you peace of mind during your stay no matter what may happen.

After all it not only covers you against the possibility of astronomical medical costs, the cost of re-patriation in the event of illness or death, but the right travel insurance cover will also provide for such eventualities as legal expenses, loss of money, passport, baggage etc. cancellation and curtailment and personal liability.  Read more »

Tourism in Spain this year is really looking up, with the country set to achieve the predicted 2.5 per cent target increase in bookings this year. This means that 8 out of 10 hotels on the coast will be 90% full this August. This increase will represent about 400,000 more tourists coming into the area, between 395,000 and 474,000. This is in comparison to the summer of 2010, when there were 15.8 million tourists.

Most of the tourism boost was expected to occur in July, rather than this August and the coming September, however, official figures have not yet been made public. These predictions for a “significant improvement” in July were supported by forecasts made of an increased number of flights into Andalucia’s airports by many different companies, as well as the airport authority AENA. In total, it represents an increase of 1.8 percent over the previous year.  Read more »

Many students spend their summers travelling, or take a gap year during their studies, and being insured is incredibly important but is something often overlooked by young people, simply because of the extra cost it involves.

The truth is, you can get an insurance policy that will cover you for up to a million pounds for as little as thirty pounds, maybe less if you find the right provider, such as Endsleigh Insurance. Or, for multiple travel in a year, an annual travel insurance policy might be more appropriate. Understanding your policy is of equal importance so don’t just get covered, make sure you know what you are covered for and what you are not covered for. The last thing you want on your travels is a nasty shock if you happen to have an accident.

Find yourself a specialist student insurance provider. They will have policies tailor made for your type of travelling and they may cover specifically for a student who is spending a year or a few months abroad as part of their course.  Read more »
