Travel Insurance: Not Just for Overseas

TRAVEL insurance is something you’ll always remember when you’re going overseas.

Holidaying at Home: Why UK Travel Insurance Matters

But what about holidaying at home? It’s sad to say, but some of our visitors to the Cedar Manor are having to cancel their plans due to covid and other last-minute eventualities. And that’s when you need UK travel insurance.

If You Need to Cancel

We all hope and pray that we’re past the worst of the pandemic, but people are still getting ill, and we know that you will need to cancel or postpone your trip if you’re infectious. And there are many other reasons, too, why a holiday might need to be cancelled at the last minute.

We asked an expert for some advice, so here’s what our friends at Ryburne Brokers told us.

What the Expert Says

“With the boom in staycations caused by the pandemic the need for UK travel cancellation insurance is greater than ever.

Traditionally holidaymakers see travel insurance being just for overseas trips. Holiday breaks in the UK have been thought less risky because medical cover is provided by the NHS. And often home insurance policies pick up cover for baggage away from home. 

But the cancellation risk is still there and greater than ever due to the pandemic and the investment people now make in high quality UK holidays. Independent hotels and holiday accommodation providers cannot afford to lose bookings at the last minute, so have to protect themselves with booking conditions.

Annual travel insurance really is the best option because it can pick up all UK breaks and overseas holidays automatically. And a good policy can be bought from around £50 per year to include UK and Europe holidays.”

Seeing All Our Friends

We hope you’ll see that it makes sense. We are looking forward to seeing all our friends, old and new, for holidays, short breaks, and our famous afternoon teas.
