Isn’t it funny how determined we all are about going on holiday and not letting the credit crunch beat us down. We are all keen to economise in the name of frugal but there is sensible money saving and darn right stupid money saving.
To keep the costs down you book a skiing holiday in Europe and turn a blind eye to travel insurance. Travel insurance costs about twenty pounds or thereabouts and your holiday will most likely set you back ten times that at least. You break your leg while out on the slopes and need airlifting in addition to emergency medical treatment. The bill for this is astronomical setting you back thousands of pounds you don’t have.
In hindsight would you now think it a good idea to save twenty pounds on travel insurance? According to the article “Don’t fall down on ski travel insurance!” the medical assistance you will need for a broken leg when skiing in Europe will start at around £4,000 (not to mention air ambulances and repatriation costs).
