Why do people travel abroad without travel insurance cover?
Thousands of people travel without travel insurance cover and I can not understad why?- Because they can not afford it, and hope that they are not in the very small percentage of people that ever need it
- tha same reason people drive without car insurance, do not have home insurance, they think they will never need it
- I travel all the time and never get insurance - it is a scam for ers liek car insurance for rental cars. Read 'batty''s answer - she is a hundred percent correct - if you actually have insurance then make a claim - it is like pulling teeth to get any money back from the insurance company. They will be such a pain to deal with because they ume you are cheating - if you get insurance, it is likely that you are not covered for what happens to you. Also, if you book your flights on Visa or thru some travel agents - they include 'free' travel insurance. Also for lost bags or crashed airplanes, the airlines cover minimal amounts they are required by law
- cos they think "it will not happen to me"
- because thy can not afford it but this is a false economy you must always get some insurance
- they could be skint
- I presume you are trying to sell Insurance cover. Nice Try. I do not know why the travel withouth the cover - maybe its too expensive on top of all their other holiday expenses, but you are really reaching by trying to sell your products in this way. You sound like a really naff TV advert. "Why do people travel abroad without cover! Its MADNESS!" You could even get Barry from the Cillit bang ads to present it
- it beats me, they must be mad
- complacency and profound ignorance and to save a few bob but it can bounce back on you!
- If travel insurance cover were free then everyone would travel with it. Answer cos it's not free
- because they are senseless
- I wonder how fffrrreeeddd would feel if touch wood he ever died on holiday and his next of kin had to pay the thousands of pounds it costs to get them home! If people would just read their policies properly before travelling and make sure the cover is adequate for what they may need then they would not have a problem claiming - yes the insurance companies do need to take a while and check everything out but funnily enough they can`t just pay out to everyone who says they have lost something or been in an accident there are some dishonest people out there. Sorry for ranting and no I don`t work for an insurance company
- There`s a distinct possibility that if there are no descendants of a person travelling, if something happened it don`t matter?Selfish perhaps but, I know of a lot of people who do travel without insurance & have insurance myself
- because they ume that they will not get injuries and end up in hospital
- i have travelled with out travel insurance, . but it was a accident i was so busy and it was a rush flight, that i did not realise about it untill i was sitting in the airport looking at some travel brochures, . not something i do regularly
- one time i had insurance for everything until it comes to claiming, then all the insurance does is try to get out of the payout by any means, now i, ve given up on insurances because of my bad experiences trying to claim when needed
- HOW do you know it? If for instance you pay your holidays with an Amexco Card you are automatically insured. Many people do not need an extra travel insurance since they are already covered somewhere else
- Because they are stupid. Then they go on to websites and say stupid things like: you know in South Africa there is no proper health care for foreigners. Basic stupidity is your answer
