Why You Need Motor Insurance When You Travel

Travelling to any event is exciting. Maybe you’re off to a family wedding or party, that big gig or stadium concert, or even lucky enough to have secured tickets for a big sporting event, hopefully without the big pricing!

Travelling home or abroad at any time comes with a bit of risk. This includes travelling for business reasons, as many motor traders do regularly.

Things can come up unexpectedly from time to time, like medical requirements, travel delays, vehicle break-ins or lost luggage. Anything can happen once you’re on the open road.

So, checking a few things with your local insurance broker before setting off and ensuring you’re covered for the unexpected is always a good idea. Then, you can just focus on enjoying that special event without worrying about unplanned costs.

Getting the right insurance policy can help you avoid losing money if anything goes wrong.

Sports fans travel yearly to famous stadiums like Twickenham, Silverstone and Wembley to see huge events.

European stadiums also host these big events, so if you plan on attending them, you’ll need to investigate European travel insurance before your trip.

If heading abroad, you need to be aware of the tourist tax. This tax applies to those staying in tourist accommodation. It also applies to those staying outdoors, such as motor homes and caravans. You will be asked to pay a tax per person and per night.  

If you are travelling to do adventure sports or participate in any sports, regular policies might not cover you or your new or used vehicle.

Always check what your insurance covers and whatever you plan to do whilst travelling. This way, you will be protected against the unexpected, allowing you to enjoy your adventure without concerns.
