We all want to feel safe and accepted while we're away, but for LGBTQIA+ travellers, visiting certain countries can be a cause for concern. That's why we've put together a few tips to help you stay safe when you travel abroad:
''The last thing we want to think about on holiday is something going wrong. But, a sudden illness, lost passport or even a cancelled flight can turn your dream trip into a nightmare - fast.
My biggest piece of advice? Always consider buying a travel insurance policy before you set off on your travels. After all, no one wants to be stuck dealing with lost luggage or a cancelled flight and thinking, "I really should've bought insurance." It's a smart investment that’s there for you when you need it most. And when you just use Confused, we'll find you the best policies at the best prices. You lucky thing."
When it comes to travel insurance, there are 3 main options to consider. Choosing the one that suits you best could make your trip smoother and save you cash.
Planning to travel in a group? Once you've chosen your insurance type, you might find these policy options ideal:
Standard policy doesn't cover everything you need? No problem. You can enhance your policy with travel insurance add-ons when you get a quote.
There’s plenty to think about before you head off on your travels. Is your passport valid? Will you be subject to a tourist tax at your destination? Worried about baggage allowance? We’ve got you covered. Our up-to-date tools can help you take the stress out of travelling, so you can put your feet up!
Heading to Eurovision, the British & Irish Lions Tour in Australia, or planning to enjoy strawberries and cream at Wimbledon? Maybe you've got tickets for the Tour de France or a Formula 1 race.
Wherever you're off to, travel insurance can save you a lot of stress (and money) if things go wrong.
While most standard policies won't cover a cancelled event, they can help cover things that might stop you from going in the first place. If you get sick, have an accident before you travel, or your luggage gets lost along the way, insurance could help cover your costs.
If you're just going to an event in the UK, don't assume you're fully covered. Though the NHS is there for any medical care you might need, the right policy can cover lost belongings, delays or last-minute cancellations. Phew.
