It has been revealed that when it comes to making a claim on a travel insurance policy, medical problems are the most common reason for doing so.
The AA has warned that even if people have a European Health Insurance Card, they should not use it as a substitute for taking out travel insurance.
This is because many doctors and hospitals will still charge people for medical treatment and although they will treat the problem they "won't send you home".
Christian Young, director of AA travel insurance, said: "Insurance really is a no-brainer and should be top of your travel wish-list."
This means that if the worst does happen, "the medical treatment will be readily available to you and, if necessary you'll be brought home for further treatment in the UK", he added. travel insurance is also advisable for those holidaying in the UK this summer as well as people jetting off abroad, LV= claims.
