We had a real panic last week when we needed to get travel insurance arranged for my partner’s son who is travelling to France with friends next week, then returning alone by plane to the UK. The most important cover he needed was medical travel insurance. There are so many things that can happen to a 16 year old abroad, and when you think about the consequences and costs involved you realise that you need good cover. There is a new site called covermytravels.co.uk where you can find travel insurance designed to meet your needs, and we have the peace of mind to wave him off happily on his trip.
