Bizarre travel insurance claims

posted : THURSDAY, 10TH SEPTEMBER 2009 09:09:44 BST comments : 0

Holidays abroad don't always go without a hitch.

Every year UK travel insurance companies receive thousands of claims for compensation from unlucky holidaymakers

The most common claims tend to be for lost baggage, cancellation or medical expense.

However being ambushed by monkeys or video cameras buried in the sand are examples of the more bizarre claims received by some of the UK's largest travel insurers.

Don’t take the risk; before you head off on your travels it pays to ensure that you have adequate travel insurance in place to cover you should the unfortunate happen.

Don't wait for disaster to strike. Get covered
