We know travel insurance is a boring subject, until you need to make a claim, then it becomes pretty damn important.
We strongly recommend anyone planning an Ibiza holiday take out an travel insurance policy which will cover you in case of accidents, theft, loss or holiday cancellations.
Travel insurance for a 1 or 2 week holiday in Ibiza will typically cost less than a tenner with our recommended provider insure and go and should you have an accident while on holiday which requires medical treatment, no matter how minor, the cost can easily run into the thousands. In our opinion, that makes travel inurance a no brainer.
Ibiza hotels are by and large pretty safe, but every year we hear stories of holiday makers rooms getting turned over and spending money, passports ad valuables stolen. Travel inurance will protect you against this and mean your holiday can carry on, even if things go wrong.
Some things to look out for when buying travel insurance:
Excess- the amount you have to pay out of every possession you claim for. If your excess is £100 and you claim for an iPod worth £200, your travel insurance will only pay out £100. Consider excess waivers to increase the amount you get back should you need to make a claim.
Drugs and alcohol- if you damage yourself, someone else, or get arrested while you're under the influence your travel insurance probably won't cover you
Cancellation- if you need to cancel your holiday for personal or medical reasons your holiday company is unlikely to refund you the full cost of the holiday. In this case if your policy has cancellation cover you can claim back the lost money.
Insure and Go travel insurance
Insure and Go are the UK market leaders in travel insurance and are our recommended provider. Taking out a policy online at insureandgo.com takes about 5 minutes and costs about £10 for a fortnight. You can find slightly cheaper policies online but for the sake of a couple of quid the level of cover and customer service which Insure and Go offer makes them a smart choice.
