1 in 3 passengers travel without travel insurance
10 October 2011More than a third of passengers travel without travel insurance, risking huge medical bills if they have an accident or become ill abroad.
This was revealed in a survey of 4,000 passengers by low cost airline Ryanair which also shows 82 per cent with insurance did not know if their policy offered ski, business travel or sports (golf) cover.
Ninety per cent of those who travelled without insurance were unaware that medical repatriation flights within Europe could cost them more than €18,000, and substantially more from other parts of the world, should they become seriously ill when abroad.
