The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has released a comprehensive guide to travel insurance to help travellers find the right policy to suit their holiday needs.

The consumer guide to travel insurance offers an easy to use guide for those who may feel fazed by the mind boggling array of travel insurance policies available both online and on the high street.

With so many options available many travellers use price comparison websites to find the cheapest policy, however the ABI warn against simply opting for the least expensive travel insurance policy as they advise that the cheapest policies are likely to offer the lowest level of protection.

Another top tip from the ABI with regards to travel insurance is to always make your insurance company aware of any pre existing medical conditions you have. If you fail to declare this, and you require medical treatment for the ailment while abroad, your insurance policy may not cover you.

One of the other best pieces of advice the ABI are offering consumers is to not do anything they wouldn’t normally do at home such as putting themselves in a dangerous position, or not looking after their possessions.
