The following points will help you choose the right Travel Insurance cover for you.

1. Insurance companies offer different types of coverage so you need to identify the type of coverage you require. This can be cover for medical expenses, personal accidents, missed or delayed flights, loss of baggage, lost or stolen travel documents and many more.
2. Calculate the overall cost of your trip. Usually insurance companies offer trip cancellation due to an illness of you, a close relative or travelling companion. It is important to cover the entire cost of the holiday so you are fully reimbursed if you need to cancel your trip.
3. Offers Curtailment cover ( e.g. If there was a death of a close family member and you needed to get home quickly).
4. Search for the best travel insurance companies on the market using comparison websites such as UCompare.ie. You will instantly have access to all of the major insurance companies in the Irish Market.
5. Choose a company that gives you the best cover for your own needs whether you require Winter sports cover, Business Cover or Cruise Cover.
6. Make sure the Travel Insurance you purchase covers the geographical area you plan to travel to. This is very important because different countries have huge variations in medical costs.
7. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, be sure to enquire whether or not they are covered as standard on the policy.
8. Cover for Sports and Activities.
