Security Tips for Christmas
Living in Spain puts the world within easy reach. With Malaga Airport offering flights to countless destinations and long-haul routes from Madrid, you can head almost anywhere. But however carefully you plan, a trip can be disrupted by things outside your control.
Things don’t always go to plan
Weather is becoming more unpredictable, and the holiday you’ve been looking forward to can be affected by circumstances nobody could foresee. We all know at least one person who had to cancel a trip at the last minute.
Many of us also know someone whose luggage went missing along the way. Most of the time it turns up and is sent on to your destination, but sometimes it is lost for good.
What travel insurance can cover
Nobody can guarantee that nothing will go wrong, but travel insurance gives you peace of mind. Depending on the policy, cover can include:
- Medical expenses while abroad
- Lost or delayed luggage
- Cancelled or curtailed holidays
- Unforeseen health issues during your trip
There are basic and more comprehensive levels of cover, available for a single trip or for a whole year, so you can choose what best suits your needs. Travel insurance works alongside your health insurance in Spain rather than replacing it, so it’s worth checking how both policies fit together.
Why expats need a specialist policy
As an expat, you may find that many UK travel insurance companies will not cover you if you are no longer a UK resident. That’s why we work with a selection of insurers that deal specifically with expats living in Spain. Find out more about our travel insurance for expats in Spain.
