January 4 - If you have just celebrated Christmas and the New Year and are just about to set off on your dream holiday with your family, make sure that you take out ample travel insurance to ensure peace of mind throughout your trip. Knowing that you have travel insurance will mean less worry about an airline 'misplacing' your luggage, and that in the event of an injury or illness, you and your family will be financially covered and well cared for. Used to warm weather most of the year round, many South Africans are fond of travelling to the colder climes of the northern hemisphere, particularly over December and January, to experience snow and some skiing. However, due to these cold conditions and the fact that South Africans are not used to such low temperatures, many develop weather-related illnesses such bronchitis and pneumonia which can be very serious if not treated quickly. Then there are broken bones and torn ligaments sustained when falling down steep ski slopes. Orthopedic surgeons do not come cheap overseas! This is where travel insurance eases the financial stress of expensive European or American hospitals, which can cost thousands of Euros or Dollars every day. For instance, a travel insurance policy of just a few hundred Rand for a two weeks abroad can literally cover you and your family for millions of Rands in overseas medical costs, as well liability cover with no fuss. So listen to your travel consultant when they suggest taking out comprehensive travel insurance - it could well save your life and your bank account!
