Europe Freeze Highlights Importance of Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance Direct in Australia says travelers cannot protect themselves against unforeseen disruption if they do not secure travel insurance at the time they pay for their travel.

“Up to 10 per cent of people don't arrange travel insurance until the day they travel, too late to protect themselves from issues like unforeseen bad weather,” said Travel Insurance Direct General Manager Ian Jackson. “Travel insurance is not just important for the time you're away; it can also protect you before you leave.”

More than 1200 scheduled flights were canceled at Heathrow Airport over the weekend, leaving 5500 passengers stranded in departure halls. Similar problems affected airports in Germany, The Netherlands, France, Spain and Denmark.
