Maynard might be looking a little smug. BP Insurance Brokers Going somewhere...? Whatever time of year you go on holiday, getting away from it all should be a chance to relax and forget your worries for a while. Much as we’d like it to, though, preparing for a break is more than “passports, tickets, money”. Getting the right holiday insurance is essential, but too many people cut corners or - worse still - overlook it altogether.
Remember, holiday activities like skiing or bungee jumping might require extra cover, so it’s important that things like this are covered. As an established local firm, BP Insurance Brokers have access to policies that will cover pretty much any trip, from a chilled-out UK break to an action-packed overseas adventure.
It’s easy to focus on the prospect of rest and relaxation, without considering what can go wrong while you’re away. If you fall ill, are you entitled to medical care? What if holiday activities go awry and you have an accident? Even a simplesounding beach holiday has its risks, and if things don’t go to plan, the right insurance cover will help you avoid an awful lot of heartache and expense.
A little preparation makes all the difference, and understanding your insurance should be a part of your holiday routine. Knowing what you’re covered for, and how to claim if you need to, will give you peace of mind, and isn’t that what we all want when we head away on holiday? If required the right insurance can cover you in the event of your tour operator going bust, or industrial action cancelling your flights. Finally, don’t leave it until the last minute to arrange your cover! Visit BP Insurance Brokers in St Annes, call 01253 781007, or head to bpib.co.uk to find out more.
But then he has just got a fantastic deal on his car insurance.

Lancashire based BP Insurance Brokers understand that you don’t want to spend ages looking for the right kind of policy, and you certainly don’t want to have to pay through the nose for it. That’s why their friendly team will do the hard work for you, checking the market for travel cover that suits your upcoming trip. Where you’ll be going, how long you’ll be there, what you’ll be doing… there are so many different 148 Victoria Road West | Cleveleys | FY5 3NE things to consider, and so many 863636 | cleveleys@bpib.co.uk | bpib.co.uk different policies, that01253 it’s worth trusting the search to experts.
