It can be easy to be swept away thinking about cocktails by the pool but don’t forget the practical aspects when planning an overseas holiday. It’s vital to pack the right financial products in your suitcase. Here’s what you need to consider.
Travel insurance
“If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.” Things don’t always go to plan – you may have to cancel before you go, your luggage could go missing, or you might have an accident while you’re away – so it’s vital to be prepared just in case.
Start by looking at your credit card as it may offer free travel insurance, but you may have to activate your insurance in some way. For example, you may need to use your credit card to pay for part or all of your trip.
