There are many reasons why travel insurance may be invalidated. If you buy a basic policy that does not provide enough medical coverage, you may get a big bill if you have an unexpected health issue on holiday. You may buy a policy that does not cover your planned holiday activities such as water sports or quad biking; or does not cover cancellations or delays. If you’re injured doing activities, or your trip is disrupted, you may have a big bill to pay. So, before you go on holiday, you can do some small things in only a few minutes which could save you a lot of money.

► Declare all of your medical conditions
► Check your insurance covers your activities
► Check your insurance covers the whole trip
► Check that medical evacuation is included
► Share you policy details with friends and family
► Pack your policy document
