A beautiful game but are you covered?

The world cup kicks off on 11 June in South Africa,
It is estimated between 430,000 – 460,00 foreign visitors will visit South Africa this summer.
Unlike the last world cup in Germany, a lot of us are not aware that there are not the free medical provisions for EU citizens.
It is so important that we make sure we have the correct level of cover for the countries we are travelling to, for example making sure we cover lost or stolen possessions, insolvent accommodation providers and airlines.
For example if you were to break your leg in Africa, you could be facing costs of up to £15,000 in medical expenses and repatriation.
It is thought after paying for flights and accommodation; many fans will try and save money on their travel insurance.

Many hotels are believed to have taken over bookings, to prepare for “no show’s” so many fans may find themselves trying to book into a room that is already occupied.

Wherever you are travelling, research where you are going, and make sure you are covered for all impromptu events.
