Travel Insurance can cover you for things that can go wrong if you are on holiday. These can range from small things such as if your baggage gets delayed, lost or stolen to medical emergencies such as if you require medical evacuation and further treatment when you get home. You can also get access to a nursing advice line if you get sick and you can insure yourself if you are pursuing a particular leisure such as golf or skiing. The recent tsunami disaster is a good example of why you should take insurance out. You never know what is going to happen.

You also have the option of bolting on additional cover such as extra baggage cover or leisure cover such as golf.
