The survey of 1000 people identified that half of the travellers who had chosen not to take insurance were prepared to take a 'calculated risk', preferring to adopt the 'it wont happen to me' attitude. A staggering 14 per cent of those questioned quite simply forgot to arrange it as part of their holiday planning! In May 2007 the Telegraph.co.uk supported this view saying that cynicism of insurers use of small print to avoid paying claims also potentially contributed to three million Britons being prepared to travel overseas without insurance.

Despite the fact that winter insurance is relatively inexpensive there are still those who are willing to take the gamble to save themselves about £40 for a weeks skiing holiday by travelling without insurance! ... see "Winter Sports - Are you covered?" for more |
