Why Adventure Holidaymakers Skip Travel Insurance

























Why Adventure Holidaymakers Skip Travel Insurance .
With a recent study by AXA insurance showing that over 200,000 Brits are likely to incur a holiday injury this year alone, travel insruance comparison engine squaremouth.co.uk is set to become an essential tool for those in search of an action-packed holiday. While Squaremouth can't promise to protect travellers from accidental injury as they adventure abroad, its clear and easy to use website can help them locate an insurance policy that will cover them for specific activities without wading through pages of fine print.
Despite the growing popularity of high risk holiday activities, many travellers just aren't aware that their travel insurance may not cover them for things like surfing, horse riding and even hill walking whilst on holiday," says Squaremouth's CEO, Chris Harvey.
By using the unique "Narrow My Choice" feature when requesting a quote from Squaremouth, however, travellers can choose to view only those insurance polices which cover the activities they intend to enjoy on holiday. With the activities covered ranging from abseiling to "zorbing", no matter how adventurous your holiday, it's easy to quickly find an insurance policy that covers it.
"This unique feature, allows travellers to quickly and easily track down the best insurance policy to fit their needs," adds Chris Harvey.
By using the feature, visitors to the site are able to compare hundreds of policies, filtering out the products that don't apply, and viewing only those that do.
David Wagstaff, U.K.manager for squaremouth.co.uk adds: "The research carried out by AXA reveals that around 16% of people heading off on adventure holidays this year won't purchase any insurance at all. That's a worrying figure, and one which may, in part, be down to the confusion which surrounds the purchase of insurance. At squaremouth.co.uk, we aim to make
travel insruance simple, helping travellers cut out the legwork and go straight to the policies that fit their needs as well as their budgets."
