But mum have we got travel insurance?

Even with the times in the way they are at the moment people are still having the time and money to go away which of course is certainly not a bad thing. A recent poll has suggested that nearly one in three people going away actually take a child with them, whether that is a child of their own, a grandchild or a family friend at just over 31% it is safe to say the credit crunch is certainly not really going to affect many people at all.

What is very worrying is that 20% of these people took the children on holiday without them even having any insurance at all. 15% of these people did not even know whether the child was even covered by an insurance policy at all. Having insurance can come in very handy when visiting America. Having insurance in America enables you to be seen a long time before the people that do not have it. Being seen first is going to be very helpful indeed when looking at a broken arm or something like that. For a child a waiting room is even worse than it is for an adult, espeically when they are in pain. Amazingly 15% of these people did not even know whether the child was even covered by an insurance policy at all.

The costs for you having to pay out for the child you are looking after can be astronomical indeed.

The best advice is to really check to see if the child you are taking away with you has insurance. If your child requires medical attention when you are away the cost is going to be far greater to you than it would have been to pay out for insurance.

Of course if you have insurance already for your child then why not get gadget insurance for something so that it can be covered over the summer months. It is also important to have home insurance as well as home emergency insurance to make sure that everything that could possibly go wrong with the home is actually covered.
